Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has placed responsibility for the Southeast’s developmental challenges squarely on the region’s political leadership, criticizing their failure to deliver meaningful progress despite holding significant positions in federal government.

In an interview with Idoma TV from 13:13, Adeyanju acknowledged the region’s presidential aspirations while pointing to missed opportunities by Southeast politicians who have wielded considerable influence at the federal level.

“The political ruling elite in the country from the Southeast are to blame, because at a point in this country, the Southeast has been unfortunate since the return of democracy to produce a president,” Adeyanju stated. “However, at a point in this country, we have had key actors from the Southeast. But what did they do for their people? And every time they got votes from there.”

The lawyer highlighted a particular period during the Obasanjo administration when Southeast politicians held significant sway in the corridors of power. “There was a time that even the cabal in the Villa was like a Southeast cabal under Obasanjo. If you could recall, the Obasanjo cabal was more or less like a Southeast cabal. What did they do for their people? What did those people do?” he questioned.

Adeyanju also directed criticism toward the Southeast Development Commission, questioning its effectiveness since establishment. “This Southeast Development Commission – what are they doing since they’ve been inaugurated? What road have they done? What hospital have they done? What stadium have they built? What facility is going on in this current government?” he challenged.
