Deji Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, asserted Thursday that Peter Obi, a previous presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), served under President Bola Tinubu in 2023 and might do so again in 2027.
According to Adeyanju, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), also served under Tinubu in 2023.
In a series of tweets on his X page, the rights lawyer revealed what must be done for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s alliance to succeed.
All self-centered politicians, including as Atiku and Obi, should be impartial and refrain from running in 2027, he added.
According to Adeyanju: “I’m 100% convinced that Obi worked for Tinubu’s in 2023 & will do so again. I might be wrong but I’m convinced in my mind about this.
“Once a businessman, always a businessman man. Those still in doubt will see the clear hand writing before 2027. He will refuse to join coalition.
“Kwankwaso also worked for Tinubu. For the coalition to succeed, all the self centered politicians like Atiku & Obi should promise not to run and allow neutral folks to run against Tinubu.
“This is how to put the interest of the nation above personal interest. The biggest industry in Africa is politics.
“And those around popular politicians are all merchants. This is why once politics is around the corner, they are in business. Con men and women who just want to cash out. This is why they never tell politicians the truth.”
