Adeyanju, who is known for his controversial takes on national politics, said both opposition leaders should step down from the race if they want Nigerians to believe that they are not secretly working for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election.
The activist made the statement in a post on his official X handle, where he insisted that Obi, who is flying the flag of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and Kwankwaso must withdraw to prove their sincerity.
"If Obi and Kwankwaso step down from the race, I will believe they are no longer working for President Tinubu like they did in 2023," Adeyanju wrote.
This is not the first time Adeyanju is accusing the two opposition figures of playing to Tinubu's advantage. In recent months, he has repeatedly alleged that the continued ambition of Obi and Kwankwaso will only split opposition votes and ultimately hand victory to the incumbent President, just as he claimed happened in the 2023 election.
According to him, any vote cast for Obi or Kwankwaso in 2027 is indirectly a vote for Tinubu, and he has called on Nigerians not to waste their votes on them.
However, it should be noted that Adeyanju's claims remain personal allegations and there is no evidence to prove that Obi or Kwankwaso is working for President Tinubu.
Meanwhile, Kwankwaso has continued to defend the relevance of Peter Obi in the race. He recently stated that Obi remains a serious political threat to Tinubu, especially in the southern part of the country.
Kwankwaso claimed that President Tinubu is worried about Obi's growing popularity and personality in the South, adding that plans are already in place to mobilise more northern voters for the NDC presidential candidate.
He also revealed that he had reached out to some Fulani groups to help convince former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is now the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to withdraw from the contest.
The development comes at a time when opposition parties and their candidates are engaged in intense political calculations and realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
