‘Why Tinubu Must Arrest, Investigate, Prosecute Peter Obi, Aisha Yesufu And Sarah Ibrahim’

Published

The factional Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Arabambi Abayomi, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to arrest, investigate, prosecute the former presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi.
In an open letter to Tinubu, Abayomi said the President needs to uphold the rule of law and restore public decorum.

The factional LP spokeswoman also called for the arrest, investigation and prosecution of activists, Aisha Yesufu and Sarah Ibrahim for their roles in inciting treasonable felony cyber-stalking and cyber-bullying.

He stated that he is set to file a Mandamus suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel Tinubu, as the President and Chief Security Officer of the nation, to direct relevant agencies to perform their constitutional duty of investigating the trio.

According to him, Tinubu must ensure that the same laws that protect Peter Obi from defamation are applied equally to hold him and his associates accountable for their own extensive and inflammatory statements.

His open letter read: “I am compelled to write to you today regarding a matter of grave national importance that strikes at the very heart of our democracy, the rule of law, and the dignity of the highest office in the land: the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“My attention was drawn to a seven-day pre-action letter of demand served by the legal representatives of Mr. Peter Gregory Obi on Mr. Deji Adeyanju. In it, Mr. Obi demands a retraction and apology for statements he deems defamatory, made on August 21, 2025, in which Mr. Adeyanju critiqued his political standing.

“The profound irony of this action cannot be overlooked. This is the same Mr. Peter Obi who, on October 11, 2023, held a press conference in Abuja where he audaciously and publicly challenged your identity, your parentage, and the authenticity of your academic credentials. He demanded you provide personal historical details to him, orchestrating a media spectacle that caused undeniable national embarrassment and sowed seeds of doubt and discord.

“While Mr. Obi now rushes to his lawyers to protect his own reputation from criticism, his political movement has been defined by a sustained and malicious campaign of calumny against your person and office. His key allies, such as Aisha Yesufu and Serah Ibrahim, have consistently and publicly referred to your government as “illegitimate”—a blatant and seditious disregard for the final and authoritative judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria which affirmed your election.

“Every day, on various social media platforms, countless individuals affiliated with Mr. Obi’s movement engage in unchecked libel, openly referring to you in the most derogatory and criminal terms without any consequence. This creates a dangerous imbalance where one political figure seeks the full protection of the law for himself while his supporters operate with impunity, eroding the sanctity of our national institutions and the dignity of the Presidency.

“Therefore, Your Excellency, I urge you in the strongest possible terms to direct the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Attorney-General of the Federation to:

“1. Investigate and Arrest: Immediately investigate, arrest, and question Mr. Peter Obi, Aisha Yesufu, and Serah Ibrahim for their alleged roles in inciting treasonable felony, cyberstalking, and cyberbullying against the Nigerian state and your person.

“2. Uphold the Rule of Law: Ensure that the same laws that protect Mr. Obi from defamation are applied equally to hold him and his associates accountable for their own extensive and inflammatory statements.

“3. Send a Clear Message: Demonstrate that no individual, regardless of their political status, is above the law. Nigeria must be a country where freedom of speech is respected, but where deliberate falsehoods, seditious rhetoric, and attempts to undermine the legitimacy of a constituted authority are met with the full force of the law.

“I have accordingly put my legal team, led by Barristers Anderson Asemota and Mawah Monday, on notice to file a Mandamus suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja. This suit will seek to compel you, as the President and Chief Security Officer of the nation, to direct the relevant agencies to perform their constitutional duty.

“It is time to end this era of impunity and restore respect for our nation’s leadership and institutions.”

Tinubu doesn’t deserve second term — Kwankwaso

Published

October 24, 2026

By

Former Kano State Governor and National Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration does not deserve a second term, accusing it of failing to address insecurity and poverty.

Kwankwaso spoke on Friday, October 23, in Jos at a reception and village hall meeting organised by the Middle Belt Youth Council in support of the Peter Obi–Kwankwaso ticket.

He said Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, had been expected to chair the event but could not attend because of circumstances beyond his control in Enugu. According to Kwankwaso, they agreed to arrange another visit to address supporters together.

He described their partnership as a balanced ticket intended to promote unity across Nigeria and said they were combining their policy proposals for the country. “Together, we are going to fight insecurity, poverty and illiteracy, and invest in agriculture and education,” he said. Kwankwaso pledged to expand educational opportunities, arguing that every Nigerian child should have access to school.

He cited his record in Kano and Obi’s administration in Anambra as evidence of their commitment to education. Drawing on his experience as governor and defence minister, Kwankwaso identified poverty, illiteracy and limited employment opportunities as major national challenges.

He lamented the decline of factories and industries, saying the loss of productive businesses had reduced opportunities for men and women to earn a living. Kwankwaso also criticised the continuing loss of lives to banditry, insurgency and communal clashes, calling for leadership that would protect citizens regardless of religion, ethnicity or region.

“We must have leaders who are ready to protect the lives and properties of the citizens of this country and that is embedded in our Constitution,” he said. “Any government that cannot do that, we cannot call that government a responsible government and that government does not deserve a second term.”

He urged Plateau residents to vote for the Obi–Kwankwaso ticket and other NDC candidates, and to help safeguard their votes through the electoral process. Kwankwaso recalled Obi’s victory in Plateau during the 2023 presidential election and said cooperation between the Obidient and Kwankwasiyya movements would strengthen their support in the state.

Supporting Tinubu’s re-election could pave way for Igbo presidency – Gov Soludo

Published

October 24, 2026

By

The governor of Anambra state, Charles Soludo, says supporting President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid could pave the way for an Igbo presidency in the future.

While speaking at a function recently, Soludo, who spoke in Igbo, said backing Tinubu in the 2027 election could encourage other regions to support an Igbo presidential candidate when power returns to the south.

He said the south-east should support the incumbent southern president, noting that power would shift to the north after Tinubu’s tenure before eventually returning to the south.

“You have to engage in discussions. Now that it is a Southerner holding the power, it’s remaining four years. It is now left for us (Igbos) to support him so that when it goes to the North and comes back, we can now trust that every southerner and northerner will support us,” he said

The governor said political power should rotate among different groups, adding that he had no intention of seeking a third term.

“What am I vying for? I’ve gotten a governorship position; will I go for a third term? Everyone must be given the opportunity to be able to rise,” he said.
