FCT, Abuja – The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, Peter Obi, has raised alarm over an alleged threat to his life for criticizing the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Obi said he has received all sorts of messages because of his New Year message.
He alleged that his life, family, and those around him are been threatened.
The former Anambra governor stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @PeterObi on Monday, January 6.
LP chieftain made the allegation after the national spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, said Obi has has crossed the line so many times.
The APC questions Obiâs track record as Anambra Governor, accusing him of stirring public dissent instead of offering constructive solutions.
Obi had accused Tinubu’s government of drifting Nigeria towards authoritarianism and undemocratic practices with deep-rooted corruption and nepotism.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Obi criticized Tinubu’s administration for worsening political, economic, and security conditions.
Obi lamented food insecurity, with many Nigerians borrowing to eat, and inadequate energy supply marked by frequent grid collapses.
He decried rising corruption, a skyrocketing national debt of N100 trillion, and flawed electoral systems, urging collective action and accountability.
