Human rights activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has noted that key supporters of President Bola Tinubu are rallying behind Peter Obi to become the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Adeyanju mentioned that Tinubu’s prominent supporters, such as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, are backing Obi’s candidacy for the ADC.
His comments follow Fayose’s assertion that Obi is the only vital presence in the ADC.
Fayose remarked: “Peter Obi is the only life in ADC. Other lives there are semi-existing. Atiku and Tambuwal destroyed PDP.”
In a post on X, Adeyanju questioned why these supporters seem fearful of a Northern presidential candidate.
He wrote: “Why are all major Tinubu supporters promoting Peter Obi as their man Friday? From Keyamo to Fayose, etc.; they want the coalition to present Obi.
“Why does it seem like they are afraid of a Northern candidate, particularly the serial contender Atiku? Their fear is too obvious.”
