Obi has lost grip on opposition politics, says Deji Adeyanju

Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju on Sunday hinted that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi may not be the running mate to 2027 presidential hopeful Atiku Abubakar.

Adeyanju said Obi should go and thank God in church if Atiku considers him as his running mate in 2027.

Posting on X, Adeyanju said the North controls opposition politics while President Bola Tinubu controls the South.

He wrote: “In my view, if Obi sees Atiku VP this time, he should rush to church to give testimony.

“He no longer holds any vital card, the Northerner political actors now hold all the aces for 2027 as opposition politics while Tinubu controls the southern chess board.”

Adeyanju also suggested that President Tinubu will emerge victorious in 2027.

“As of today, I see a Tinubu victory in 2027. And I’m not a prophet of doom ooo.

“Bola Tinubu is not Buhari or GEJ. The opposition needs to have a better plan. The Edo election should have taught you all a lesson but it hasn’t apparently,” he wrote.
