Obidients' gang-up on Sowore, attack on free speech backed by Peter Obi - Adeyanju

Published 10 hours ago2 minute read

Rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has expressed dissatisfaction over the alleged gang-up by Peter Obi’s supporters, known as the Obidient group, to report Omoyele Sowore’s Facebook page.

Adeyanju, who reacted to the development on Sunday in Abuja, described it as a shameful move which led to the disabling of Sowore’s page, adding, “This is not democracy. If you truly want a better Nigeria, you don’t silence opposing voices.
“It is disappointing that Peter Obi’s supporters, known as the Obidient group, ganged up to report Omoyele Sowore’s Facebook page simply because he keeps speaking the truth about their candidate.

“This shameful move led to the disabling of Sowore’s page. This is not democracy. If you truly want a better Nigeria, you don’t silence opposing voices.

“Let’s be honest: Obi’s time as Anambra governor was full of failures. Doctors went on strike, education suffered, and he refused to hold local government elections.

“The killings of MASSOB members under his watch remain unresolved. Yet, his supporters work hard to paint him as a saint. He moved from APGA to PDP, where he ran with Atiku, then to Labour Party, showing he has no clear ideology. The PDP he served in helped ruin Nigeria.

“Sowore has always stood for truth and justice. These attacks by Obidient supporters, supported and sanctioned by Peter Obi himself, are aimed at hiding the truth.

“Nobody hates Peter Obi. What we oppose are the lies and image-washing by his followers. We won’t let politics become a cult. Nigeria deserves truth and accountability.”
