Isaac Fayose claims he is being hunted for supporting Peter Obi

Businessman Isaac Fayose says he's being hunted for backing Peter Obi's presidential bid. In a Sunday Facebook video, Fayose—brother of ex-Ekiti governor Ayodele Fayose—denied a rape allegation from an unnamed blogger, calling it a smear job cooked up because he refused to drop Obi, the NDC presidential candidate.

Fayose claims the APC tries to recruit critics with offers, then destroys those who refuse. "When APC tries to get you with offers and you refuse, they gang up to pull you down," he said. He cited musician Eedris Abdulkareem and a figure called Tumma as previous targets who faced similar treatment. Fayose vows to stand by Obi and says he's ready to take legal action if necessary.

The rape claim comes from an unverified blogger with no identified credentials. No police report or court filing has been made public—Fayose's video is the only source. This follows a pattern of Obi supporters alleging intimidation ahead of the 2027 election cycle.

If you're politically active, how do you assess whether allegations against public figures are legitimate accountability or political weaponization?
