Kwankwaso, Peter Obi helped Tinubu become president – Deji Adeyanju



Ahead of the May 29 inauguration of a new administration, the presidential candidates of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, have been accused of making Bola Tinubu the President-elect.


Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political activist, said Kwankwaso and Obi made Tinubu president-elect by reducing Atiku’s votes.


Tweeting, Adeyanju said Obi went further by using religious bigotry to help Tinubu.


According to Adeyanju: “Tinubu will be president in 8 days. Kwankwaso and Obi made it possible by reducing their oga, Atiku’s votes.


“Obi took his own to the extreme by even using religious bigotry to do so.”


Tinubu defeated Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso during the last presidential election.
