Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has urged human lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, to release evidence of fraud against 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Adeyanju has on several occasions accused Obi, who is expected to contest the 2027 presidential election, of fraud, claiming he has valid evidence to prove the former Anambra governor is not who any thought he is.
He had also called Obi a manipulator and religious bigot in his recent outburst, which many Nigerians believe is allegedly being sponsored by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Obi has already dragged Adeyanju to court, insisting he provided evidence to back up his fraud allegations against him.
Aisha, a strong supporter of Obi, said there was no need to exchange words with Adeyanju, adding that since he has evidence, he should present it in court.
The former Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG), campaigner pointed out that the case will offer her and millions of other followers of Obi the opportunity to have access to Deji’s evidence so that they will know whether to continue their support for the politician or not.
“Barrister Deji Adeyanju @adeyanjudeji has repeatedly said that he has evidence to show that Mr Peter Obi @PeterObi is a fraud and that Mr Peter Obi should sue him. This is a lawyer speaking!” Aisha wrote on X.
“As a supporter of Mr Peter Obi, I am interested in the evidence the Barrister has. I would not be one to give support to anyone that is fraudulent so this case will offer me and millions of others the opportunity to have access to the evidence Barrister Deji has so we know whether to continue our support for Mr Peter Obi or withdraw it.
“Mr Peter Obi going to court is the civil thing to do. Where one is defamed especially from a LAWYER, then one should go to court.
“If Mr Peter Obi had used machinery of the State to get Barrister Deji arrested and thrown into jail like many of the dictators we fight are doing then I would be leading a #FreeDejiAdeyanju and calling out Mr Peter Obi!
“As for now, #LetsHaveTheEvidence!”
