Obi Tried To Pay Me, I Said No – Adeyanju Alleges In Explosive Video

Lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has again launched a scathing attack on politician Peter Obi, branding him a political “fraud and prostitute.”

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Friday, Adeyanju reacted to a letter from Obi threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against him.

During the session, Adeyanju alleged that Obi once attempted to offer him money during the 2023 presidential campaign in a bid to secure his support—an offer he claimed to have rejected.

“In the buildup to the 2023 elections, I shared my thoughts on why the opposition needed to unite against the APC. I even suggested that Atiku should step down for Obi, and Kwankwaso could run as his deputy. That was simply my personal view as a Nigerian,” Adeyanju said.

He claimed that following his public comments, Obi persistently reached out to him. Eventually, they met through one of Obi’s aides. According to Adeyanju, after commending him for his views, Obi allegedly attempted to hand him an envelope as “a token of appreciation.”

“I laughed and told him, ‘That means you don’t know me. If I ever support you, it will be from conviction, not because of money.’ I refused the envelope and walked away,” Adeyanju recounted.

He further accused Obi’s aides of spreading false claims that he turned against the former Anambra governor because Obi rejected a ₦200 million proposal from him—an allegation he strongly denied.

Adeyanju also criticised Obi’s supporters, known as the “Obidients,” describing them as intolerant and toxic.

“They insult people, slander opponents, and even threatened judges, artistes, and respected figures like Professor Wole Soyinka. We’ve never had such toxic political extremism in Nigeria except during the Buhari era. The Obidients are the most intolerant political movement we’ve ever witnessed,” he stated.

On Obi himself, Adeyanju insisted that his criticisms were based on truth and therefore defensible in court.

“What I said is true: Obi is a political fraud. Didn’t he swear never to leave APGA, only to dump the party later? The only thing I didn’t add is that he’s a political prostitute,” Adeyanju declared.
