Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has challenged fellow activist, Deji Adeyanju, to present the evidence he has against the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to Yesufu, she remains a supporter of Obi, but the evidence Adeyanju claims to have against the former Anambra State Governor would help her decide whether she would continue to support Obi or withdraw her support.
Naijaonpoint reports that Yesufu made the submission in a post via her 𝕏 account on Friday in which she reacted to the public feud between Obi and Adeyanju.
Obi, through his lawyers, had accused Adeyanju of character defamation after the activist described the former presidential candidate as a political fraud.
Aisha Yesufu stated that she’s okay with the fact that the matter is in court, where both parties can present their claims, adding that the court case is preferable to using the state’s powers to harass.
She wrote, “Barrister Deji Adeyanju @adeyanjudeji has repeatedly said that he has evidence to show that Mr Peter Obi @PeterObi is a fraud and that Mr Peter Obi should sue him. This is a lawyer speaking!
“As a supporter of Mr Peter Obi, I am interested in the evidence the Barrister has. I would not be one to give support to anyone that is fraudulent so this case will offer me and millions of others the opportunity to have access to the evidence Barrister Deji has so we know whether to continue our support for Mr Peter Obi or withdraw it.
“Mr Peter Obi going to court is the civil thing to do. Where one is defamed especially from a LAWYER, then one should go to court.
“If Mr Peter Obi had used machinery of the State to get Barrister Deji arrested and thrown into jail like many of the dictators we fight are doing then I would be leading a #FreeDejiAdeyanju and calling out Mr Peter Obi!
“As for now, #LetsHaveTheEvidence!”
