Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has threatened legal action against rights activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, over alleged defamatory statements.
Papers News understands that Obi’s legal representatives, Ejesimen & Co (Madiba Chambers, SAN), issued a notice accusing Adeyanju of persistently making derogatory remarks against the ex-governor on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms.
The notice particularly referenced a post dated August 21, in which Adeyanju alleged that Obi diverted funds from the Anambra State treasury into his family business.
