Human rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, on Saturday night, criticized Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his supporters, popularly known as ‘Obidients,’ over their alleged attack on African Action Congress (AAC) ex-presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
In a statement made available to newsmen, Adeyanju condemned the reported attempt to disable Sowore’s Facebook page, describing it as undemocratic and aimed at stifling dissenting voices.
He said: “It is disappointing that Peter Obi’s supporters, known as the Obidient group, ganged up to report Omoyele Sowore’s Facebook page simply because he keeps speaking the truth about their candidate.
“This shameful move led to the disabling of Sowore’s page. This is not democracy. If you truly want a better Nigeria, you don’t silence opposing voices.
“Let’s be honest: Obi’s time as Anambra governor was full of failures. Doctors went on strike, education suffered, and he refused to hold local government elections.
“The killings of MASSOB members under his watch remain unresolved. Yet his supporters work hard to paint him as a saint.
“He moved from APGA to PDP, where he ran with Atiku, then to Labour Party, showing he has no clear ideology. The PDP he served in helped ruin Nigeria.
“Sowore has always stood for truth and justice. These attacks by Obidient supporters supported and sanctioned by Peter Obi himself are aimed to hide the truth.”
However, he added that “Nobody hates Peter Obi, what we oppose are the lies and image-washing by his followers. We won’t let politics become a cult. Nigeria deserves truth and accountability.”
