Rights activist and political commentator Deji Adeyanju has mocked former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi after receiving a letter demanding a retraction of alleged defamatory statements.
The letter, sent by Obi’s lawyers, accused Adeyanju of making “repeated derogatory remarks” on social media, specifically X.
The lawyers referenced a post where Adeyanju alleged that Obi had offered him money during a private meeting.

Adeyanju had written, “He tried to give me money and called it thank you for coming, it’s 100% true,” insisting the gesture was an attempt to buy his loyalty.
The demand notice also cited a more recent post from August 21, where Adeyanju accused Obi of investing state funds in a company with alleged family interests.
In a statement posted on his social media accounts on Wednesday, Adeyanju dismissed the legal threat as “laughable,” stating he was ready to meet Obi in court.
Adeyanju wrote, “Just got this letter from Peter Obi, the religious bigot demanding a retraction from me. I laughed so hard. I can’t wait to meet him in court finally. A fraud parading himself as a messiah.”
He also accused Obi of hypocrisy and revealed that his own legal team had served a similar letter to a female supporter of Obi, identified as Serah Ibrahim, for “defamatory publications” against his wife.
“This same guy called the great Sowore a blackmailer-in-chief. We served his little errand girl Serah a letter to retract all her defamatory publications on Monday against my wife & she ran to the leader of the mob for help. Can’t wait to meet him in court,” Adeyanju added.
