Obi may be the best candidate but he is no saint – Deji Adeyanju

Human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has revealed the reason he stopped supporting the Presidential candidate of labour Party, Peter Obi.

Adeyanju in a tweet he shared noted that during a conversation with Obi, the former Governor told him he had used state funds to invest in his family business and even tried to justify his actions.

Adeyanju in his reaction described it as the height of corruption and abuse of office. He noted that even if Obi is the best candidate, he is no saint.

“The real reason I stopped supporting Peter Obi was after I met him for a 3hrs meeting at his instance of course & he told to me he invested billions of Anambra State funds into his family business. And the man was even trying to justify it. So many other things he said. SMH!”

“I agree that Peter Obi is the best candidate among those who have declared, especially with his cutting of cost theory, but he’s no saint. He’s as corrupt as the others. Investing Anambra money into his family business is the height of corruption and abuse of office, he tweeted
