Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has confronted activist Deji Adeyanju over his persistent attacks on Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, urging him to “come out clean” about his alleged support for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Naijaonpoint understands that Adeyanju has repeatedly described Obi as a “fraud,” insisting that he has valid evidence to prove the former Anambra governor is not who he claims to be.
He also recently accused Obi of being a “manipulator and religious bigot,” comments that have sparked outrage among Obi’s supporters, many of whom allege the APC government is sponsoring his outbursts.
In response, Obi has dragged Adeyanju to court, demanding proof of the allegations.
Reacting in a video message laced with Pidgin English, Isaac Fayose said Adeyanju should boldly declare his political stance rather than constantly using Obi’s name for relevance.
He alleged that Adeyanju was only following the path of former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, who, according to him, gained prominence with the Tinubu administration by attacking Obi.
Speaking in a post on his social media space, he said, “My brother Deji Adeyanju want go APC you dey take style dey support Tinubu government but you no fit come out openly say, ‘Oh! I don go APC or I’m supporting Tinubu.
“You dey use legbegbe like Reno Omokri. Reno Omokri started by fighting Obi and later he just crossed in. Deji dey use the same style.
“Mr Adeyanju just enter directly stop using Obi to score cheap points. Common! If you’re going to APC, go freely.
“Leave that man alone. What has he done to you? He hasn’t done anything to you. You want to go to APC but you don’t know how you’ll do it because Sowore will be disappointed, your brother.
“You want to go to APC and you don’t know how you’ll do and you say, ‘If Obi is on the ballot I’ll vote Tinubu’. You think say we no know who you dey support before? Abeg cross in. Stop using legbegbe.”
