Activist Aisha Yesufu has openly challenged lawyer Deji Adeyanju to present evidence supporting his claims that Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a fraud.
Yesufu, a vocal supporter of Obi, stated that while she continues to back the former Anambra State governor, the evidence Adeyanju insists he has would determine whether she maintains her support or withdraws it.
Her statement was made in response to the ongoing feud between Obi and Adeyanju. The lawyer has repeatedly accused Obi of political fraud, prompting Obi’s legal team to file a defamation suit against him.
Taking to her 𝕏 account on Friday, Yesufu wrote:
Yesufu further noted that Obi’s decision to seek legal redress was the “civil thing to do,” stressing that defamation cases are best resolved in court. She added that if Obi had resorted to using state powers to silence Adeyanju, she would have been at the forefront of demanding his release.
Her comments have sparked fresh debates online as Nigerians await further developments in the court case
