Nigerian activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stirred controversy after alleging that former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi deposited state funds in a bank in which he held a personal interest.
Adeyanju made the claim during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he featured alongside former Senator Shehu Sani.
According to him, Obi’s decision to deposit Anambra State funds in the bank was driven by personal gain rather than public interest.
“Instead of using state money to work for his people, he kept his state’s money in a bank that he had interests in. Even my seven-year-old son knows it is for his personal interest,” Adeyanju said.
The allegation has sparked debate online, with supporters and critics of the former governor weighing in on the claim.

Obi, who governed Anambra State from 2006 to 2014, has long maintained that he left office with substantial savings.
At the end of his tenure, he reportedly stated that his administration left behind over ₦75 billion in cash and investments.
As of the time of this report, Obi has not publicly responded to the latest allegation.
The claims remain unverified, and no official findings have been presented to substantiate the accusation.
