Peter Obi, The Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate In The 2023 Election, Has Revealed That He And Some Of His Family Members Have Been Receiving Threats From Individuals Following His New Year Message Delivered On January 1, 2025.
Obi Made This Statement In A Post Shared On His X Account On The Evening Of January 6. He Expressed Confusion Over What In His Message Could Have Prompted Such Threats Directed At Him, His Family, And Others Close To Him.
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.
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.”
