Human rights activist Deji Adeyanju says his sacrifices and achievements in activism make him bigger than former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
Human rights activist Deji Adeyanju has declared that he is “bigger than Peter Obi”, arguing that the former Anambra State governor cannot match his achievements and sacrifices as a human rights activist.
Adeyanju made the claim during an interview with Channels Television anchor Seun Okinbaloye, where he spoke about his record of activism and public engagement.
According to the activist, his assessment was based not merely on public visibility but on what he described as the sacrifices he has made in the course of defending human rights and speaking on national issues.
The statement has generated attention because of Obi’s profile as a former governor and prominent political figure who remains influential in Nigeria’s political space.
Adeyanju, however, framed the comparison around activism and personal sacrifice rather than political office.
His remarks are likely to generate further debate among supporters of both figures, particularly as Nigeria’s political conversation intensifies ahead of the 2027 general elections.
