Peter Obi Alleges Threat To Life Over Criticism Of Tinubu Government

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi has claimed that some loyalists of President Bola Tinubu have threatened to kill him over his recent criticism of their principal’s government.

.

Obi made this revelation in his recent post on X, alleging that his New Year message which asked President Tinubu some questions concerning the state of the nation had led to his life being under threats.

This is coming a few hours after Felix Morka, national spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said, “Peter Obi has crossed the line so many times and has it coming to him whatever he gets”.

During an interview with Arise Television, Morka described Obi as an “irrational being” and slammed his public commentary.

The ruling party’s spokesman also described Obi’s statement as deceptive, urging Nigerians to shun him and his recent words on the government’s performance.

Reacting in a tweet shared on Monday afternoon, Obi maintained that his words are within the armpit of the law.

He wrote: “Have I really crossed the line?

“I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of “crossing the line” and has warned that I will face the consequences.

“I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch:

“If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.

“We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.

“May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children.”
