One thong with Farooq is always trying to hide behind one finger to throw shades at Obi while claiming to be neutral.

His bias is always on display in 3D thats why no serious person takes his pretension neutrality seriously.

casdoruche:
This Farooq lost relevance the moment he wrote articles and later retracted them. He only spews whatever the establishment allowed. A tribal bigot and a bias writer. Under Buhari he wrote so much like an activist but now he just writing to save his career and job. Writing against Obi and pushing his tribal takes under disguise of not taking sides.

Despite all now no one takes him serious. He sold his career for partisan and tribal politics

As Deji's far Senior at the Bar, I have always advised him to take at least two years off to learn the rudiments of legal practice from a well grounded lawyer, instead of constituting himself into a nuisance over the social media space...

It is quite disturbing that Deji as a lawyer doesn't know that only a court of law can declare someone a criminal and fraud, and no one else...If Obi sues him for defamation, his only defence will be to provide the certified true copy of the Court judgement convicting Peter Obi of Fraud and other criminal allegations he has levelled against him...Shikena

And it's also quite shocking that Deji does not know that Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for its breach...and now that he is a lawyer, the presumption that he knows the law before running his mouth is extremely high..

And Farook a layman lining up layman "evidence" to support Deji is very amusing.... When push comes to shove, Farook won't be there to help Deji explain how as a lawyer he accused a man of fraud, without a court judgement to back that allegation up...

MartinCorridon:
LOL.....you that is hawking gala on the streets dey yarn.

Peter Obi will run from any court case because Deji will finish his reputation there.

We can bet 1 million naira, set up an escrow. I can bet you will run just like Obi. Charge and bail lawyer.

Why didn't Obi sue Vanguard or People's Gazette and several news outlet for calling him out as a criminal?

If Peter Obi sues Deji Adeyanju nothing will come out of it because Nigeria's judiciary is already compromised and a branch of the Presidency whom Deji Adeyanju is now working for indirectly. They will extort the situation and at the end throw the case into the dustbin.


Whereas if Nigeria was a working nation with working and neutral judiciary, Deji Adeyanju will definitely be found guilty of two to three counts of character defamation and I will point them out.


1, Deji Adeyanju lied against Peter Obi by saying that Peter Obi offered him bribe and he rejected it.

Aisha Yesufu did raised a post asking Deji to come forward with explanation of how Peter Obi gave him bribe but Deji Adeyanju is now backtracking and soft pedaling by saying Obi tried to give him an envelope as a thank you for coming, in a real nation with working legal system, Deji Adeyanju is already guilty of count one.


2, Deji Adeyanju called Peter Obi a fraud, he must present verifiable evidence to prove this not some hearsay publications.

The 250million cash found with Peter Obi's aide when he was Anambra Governor is laughable, so if a Governor wants to loot money, it is 250million naira he would loot when Ibori looted over $200million? It's laughable lol. Okay let's even assume he wanted to steal 200million Naira from Anambra state as Governor.


As at that time, Anambra's State Assembly was controlled by opposition party PDP, they even set up a committee to indict Peter Obi on this case, the committee did a thorough investigation with Nigerian Police, EFCC, etc and at the end they released an official statement that no fraud was committed that it was truly money meant for a contractor. This is on national dailies, Google it and read.


As for the Pandora papers. Peter Obi owned a private business in the UK that made him billions via Next companies he owned while he lived in UK. So when Peter Obi wanted to join Nigerian politics, Obi shutdown Next, gathered the money and set up a foreign account in a tax free nation also known as Tax haven and used his children to invest the money in the tax haven so that the money won't be reducing yearly through heavy taxation, Peter Obi has no single stake in the money anymore. So Peter Obi transferred the wealth he made in UK to his daughter and had no more stake in it.


So he came back and joined Naija politics and later became Governor.


Nigerian constitution demands that someone contesting for Governor, President, etc declare their assets, Obi declared the assets in his name, our law does not compel you to declare assets owned by your children or one jointly owned. Even at that, Tinubu have never declared his asset, Buhari did his partially, many Governors and Presidents refuse but Pete Obi declared his personally owned assets except this very money he invested in a foreign country through his kids which is more like he has now transferred the wealth to his children before joining politics. So there is no wrongdoing here, no legal system can find you guilty of tax evasion on this because the wealth has been transferred.


On the issue of investing Anambra money in International Breweries, a South-Africa and British owned brewery Obi pleaded to come to Anambra to invest and they gave him conditions and he told them no, that instead of him investing, it should be Anambra state the state they are coming to invest.


Where is the issue?

That Obi owned some shares with SabMiller, a sub-group of International Breweries? A share he bought many years ago before he became Anambra Governor?


Una no well.


Peter Obi should leave you guys to continue to enjoy your failed and corrupt leaders abeg, Nigeria is clearly irredeemable, simple!

zero8zero:
Dey play, I challenge Obi to take Deji to court after the expiration of 7 days notice. The facts are too overwhelming. That fraud has been getting away with it for a long time because nobody dragged him to court. And if you think it's only Deji that will pursue this case, then you must be making a big mistake. Several senior lawyers will be interested in this case and offer their services. I dare you too to represent Obi if e sure for you & let's see.

The online president suing online lawyer.

Is the lawd not wonderful?

obagofizzy:
Agbaya lawyer coming to feed the public with cheap lies

Pompoma:
Deji Adeyanju is using Peter Obi's name to grow his social media pages and to become popular. Hence he has to say anything against Obi whether true or false, just to trend.

buygala:
Obi didn't sue simply because he doesn't deem them worth the litigation expense...But at some point the dam will break if charlatans ike Deji don't rein themselves in, I assure you...

Besides, no politician wants to be seen litigating with the press, as na the same pressmen e go use publicize his manifesto

Kusu12:
Obidients insult Tinubu daily with unprintable and despicable names, but the moment anyone scrutinizes their self-appointed messiah and Agulu savior, they quickly brand such a person a hater, tribalist, or paid agent. Were they also paid to insult Tinubu? They must learn to take what they freely dish out to others. Nothing but pure hypocrisy.

You are obviously a non lawyer


So I will ignore you

ALTERNATEID:
Restrain him for what? Should Tinubu also restrain Peter Obi and all his supporters from further making injurious statements against him?

See, we are in a democracy and free speech is a key ingredient of democratic governance. Anyone who thinks he’s too big to be abused, insulted and scrutinized should not put himself up for public office. Peter Obi is a political fraud and he will be called out severally till he quits politics. You all can’t restrain people from speaking their truth.

WebsiteMaster:
Nice read. In my opinion I wouldn't want Obi to take this further and I would also like if there's a way to restrain the temu lawyer from further injurious statements against Obi.

blaise26abj:
Lmao . Truly . That Temu lawyer thing can pain sha .

Obi , if he is truly a leader , should have restrained the obidient movement and consolidated on the wins of 2023. It is insulting to people’s sensibilities when they get attacked because of tribe despite voting for Obi . I have been accused directly of voting for Tinubu just because I am Yoruba . It hurts because I waited for over 12 hours in the sun to vote for Obi .

Obidients have done more damage to Obi than the Temu Laywer 🤣 will ever do

gasparpisciotta:
Once you are a public/political figure anywhere in the world, you should not be afraid of mud slinging.

Obi would have done better to counter Adeyanju in the court of public opinion, a place where Obi thrives well.

If Adeyanju and his team will be very thorough, the court action will only serve to reveal and confirm many of the issues PO has been accused of.

Dalohad:
Prof. Kperogi lost my respect when he wrote a piece the other day and later rescinded his views on that article. A clear evidence that his fingers are sometimes quicker than his mental prowess. He ate his own vomit.

It is now clear that he is more interested in penning down verbose vocabularies than in engaging in proper intellectual discourse.

Another one lost to the scent of filthy lucre and drawn to El-chapo by gluttony.

Britishpea:
Obi won’t sue Adeyanju because if he does he knows that this will be injurious to his guarded reputation and will become injurious to his career.

He won’t go toward that line. A lot of Obi enemies are will rise to protect Adeyanju and Obi will fall for the prey.

Adeyanjus words were too raw and provoking but it’s a bait because some of those claims are in the public domain via the attenuation of Obi himself

Obi can only have a case in the said “tried to bribe me” and the bribing of the influencers.
