Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju on Sunday stirred political discourse by suggesting that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi may not secure the vice-presidential slot alongside 2027 presidential hopeful Atiku Abubakar.

Adeyanju remarked that Obi should consider himself exceptionally fortunate if Atiku even entertains the idea of him as a running mate, adding that such a gesture would warrant gratitude and prayer.
In a post on X, Adeyanju emphasized the current political dynamics, stating that the North dominates opposition strategy while President Bola Tinubu maintains a strong grip on Southern politics.
He wrote: “In my view, if Obi sees Atiku VP this time, he should rush to church to give testimony.
“He no longer holds any vital card, the Northerner political actors now hold all the aces for 2027 as opposition politics while Tinubu controls the southern chess board.”
Adeyanju also suggested that President Tinubu will emerge victorious in 2027.
“As of today, I see a Tinubu victory in 2027. And I’m not a prophet of doom ooo.
“Bola Tinubu is not Buhari or GEJ. The opposition needs to have a better plan. The Edo election should have taught you all a lesson but it hasn’t apparently,” he wrote.
