Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has said frontline supporters of President Bola Tinubu are backing Peter Obi to emerge as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Adeyanju said Tinubu’s major supporters like the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo and former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose are supporting Obi to emerge as ADC candidate.
He was reacting to Fayose’s remark that Obi is the only life in ADC.
Fayose had said: “Peter Obi is the only life in ADC. Other lives there are semi-existing. Atiku and Tambuwal destroyed PDP.”
Posting on X, Adeyanju wondered why they are afraid of a Northern presidential candidate.
He wrote: “Why are all major Tinubu supporters promoting Peter Obi their man Friday? From Keyamo to Fayose, etc; they want the coalition to present Obi.
“Why does it look like they are afraid of a northern candidate, especially the serial contester Atiku? Their fear is too obvious.”
