I’ve received death threats over my comment on Tinubu Gov’t –Peter Obi

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023
election, Peter Obi, has said that his life is under threat because of his
criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

 

Obi made this allegation in a post via his official X handle
on Monday.

 

This statement follows remarks from the National
Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, who said the
former Anambra State governor has “crossed the line so many times and has it
coming to him whatever he gets.”

 

Obi lamented that Nigeria is increasingly transforming into
an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being
systematically suppressed. The ex-Anambra State governor said he would not be
silenced in his resolve to speak truthfully, especially as the nation continues
to drift toward undemocratic practices.

 

“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.

 

“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,” he tweeted.
