Peter Obi Stopped Atiku in 2023 and Will Do It Again in 2027, Deji Adeyanju Says
Activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stirred fresh political conversation by referring to Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, as a stumbling block to Atiku Abubakar’s ambitions. Adeyanju believes Obi played a key role in preventing Atiku from winning the 2023 presidential election—and he’s confident history will repeat itself in 2027.
Back in 2019, Atiku and Obi were on the same ticket under the PDP but failed to unseat then-President Muhammadu Buhari. After that loss, Obi parted ways with the PDP and ran for president under the Labour Party in 2023, where he finished third.
Taking to X, Adeyanju shared his blunt view: “Obi is the weapon formed against Atiku. He blocked his path to the presidency before, and he’ll do it again. Stop championing people who won’t even lift a finger for themselves. Don’t overdo it—relax.”
