Human Rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has warned against harming Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following alleged threat to his life.
Adeyanju issued the warning in a post on his official X handle on Monday.
NPO reported that Obi had, in a post on his X handle, cried out over alleged threat to his life and family after advising President Bola Tinubu to sit down and work for Nigerians.
Reacting to the post, Adeyanju held that criticizing and holding government accountable cannot be a crime.
“I condemn the threat to HE Peter Obi’s life for been a vocal voice of opposition in Nigeria.
“No harm or persecution must come to him. Criticizing and holding the government accountable cannot be a crime but must be commended as the greatest sign of patriotism” Adeyanju wrote.
