ABUJA — Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has lashed out at activist Deji Adeyanju, accusing him of hiding his alleged support for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) while using Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as a punching bag.
Adeyanju has repeatedly attacked Obi in recent weeks, branding him a “fraud,” “manipulator,” and “religious bigot,” claims which many Nigerians suspect are politically motivated and possibly sponsored by the APC-led government. Obi has since dragged Adeyanju to court, demanding evidence to substantiate the allegations.
Reacting in a viral social media video, Isaac Fayose accused Adeyanju of following the same path as former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, who gained attention by criticizing Obi before openly aligning with Tinubu.
“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,’” Fayose said, mixing Pidgin and English.
“You dey use legbegbe like Reno Omokri. Reno started by fighting Obi and later he just crossed in. Deji dey use the same style. If you’re going to APC, go freely. Leave that man alone. What has he done to you?”
Fayose further alleged that Adeyanju is hesitant to openly declare his support for Tinubu because of potential backlash from close associates like Omoyele Sowore.
“You want to go to APC but you don’t know how you’ll do it because Sowore will be disappointed, your brother. You think say we no know who you dey support before? Abeg cross in. Stop using legbegbe,” he added.
