Stop Using Obi To Score Cheap Point’ – Isaac Fayose Blasts Adeyanju Over Political Comments
Nigerian businessman and political commentator Isaac Fayose has openly criticized activist Deji Adeyanju, accusing him of exploiting the name of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to remain relevant in political discussions.
In a fiery statement, Fayose cautioned Adeyanju to “stop using Obi to score cheap point”, insisting that the former Anambra State governor should not be dragged into unnecessary controversies. According to Fayose, constant references to Obi’s name in unrelated matters only serve to distract Nigerians from the real issues affecting the country.
The remarks sparked heated reactions across social media, where supporters of Obi and Adeyanju engaged in debates about the role of political activism and public commentary in Nigeria’s democratic space. Many argued that Obi has become a symbol of hope for frustrated citizens, while others accused activists of using his popularity to gain attention.
Fayose’s warning reflects growing concerns about the political climate, where public figures often trade barbs using high-profile names to push their narratives. As the 2027 election cycle slowly approaches, Obi’s influence continues to dominate conversations, making him a central figure even outside formal political events.
This latest exchange between Fayose and Adeyanju adds another layer to Nigeria’s heated political discourse, highlighting the tension between activism, loyalty, and political opportunism.
