Coalition: I’ll not tolerate attack against Obi, Atiku on my timeline again — Deji warns supporters

Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju has warned that he will no longer tolerate any form of attack on his social media handles against Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi and other members of the political coalition.

He gave the warning in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.

Barrister Deji Adeyanju said: “No Atiku, Peter Obi or other coalition leaders slander will be tolerated henceforth on my timeline. If I am not going to help then, I should not be discouraging them. All I have being screaming since 2023 is opposition should come, now they are together.”

Though, this is coming after he urged Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters and former presidential candidate, to join the emerging opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general election.

Adeyanju made the appeal in an open message on social media.

He invited Sowore to join the coalition, emphasizing the potential for meaningful change.

He stressed that politics requires flexibility and strategic alliances, differing from activism and morality.

Adeyanju urged Sowore to ignore potential criticism, citing his established reputation for integrity and activism.

“Dear Egbon @YeleSowore, I know you are different and unlike the thieving Nigerian politicians but please consider joining the coalition sir,” Adeyanju wrote.

“Forget about what will people say about your long-lasting principles and ideological values, etc. Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. You will earn the permanent respect and admiration of all Nigerians if you make such a painful sacrifice,” he added.

He described politics as a game defined by numbers rather than moral or ideological purity.

Adeyanju suggested that imperfections in coalitions should not deter meaningful participation.
