Human Rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has slammed former Osun state governor, ,Bisi Akande, over his claim that the Obidients started the #EndSARS protest.
Akande had in a podcast yesterday alleged that the 2020 protest was designed to be the end of Tinubu.
He alleged that the movement was planned by Obidients from America and extended to Nigeria.
“#EndSARS was designed to be the end of Tinubu. Those behind the #EndSARS knew that’s what they are doing. The Obidients were behind the #EndSARS.
“It was manufactured from America and brought in just to stop him (Tinubu). Obidients came from America to do the #EndSARS and later became a movement and to form a party.
“They couldn’t form a party so they joined whichever party. It was well planned and organized with a lot of money from America.” The ex-Osun governor and elder statesman had said.
Reacting in a post on his X handle, Adeyanju labelled Akande as a liar, stressing that the elder statesman will not be allowed to rewrite history.
He held that they started the #EndSARS protest and are not part of the Obidients movement.
“Baba Akande is a liar for saying obidients started #EndSARS. We will not allow him re-write history before our very eyes. We started #EndSARS and we are not obidients.” He wrote.
