The presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress in the upcoming 2027 elections, Peter Obi, has raised the alarm over his safety. He recently had his say while speaking during an interview with Chude, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Opening up about the systematic frustration of his businesses, Obi claimed that he might not even be alive to contest the next poll.
Stressing that this hostility isn’t unique to him, Peter painted a grim picture of the challenges facing opposition figures in Nigeria.
His words, “Not even a candidate. I might not even be alive. I’m telling you. Every single thing I do for a living, this government is frustrating it. Deliberately so. Everything. So, there is even a possibility, if they have the opportunity, I will not be alive.
They are attacking everybody who is in opposition personally.
But I said, ‘Look at the cars of other people.’ And you could see them talking to each other, as if, ‘Who is this one?
I have people send me invitations and say, ‘My son, my daughter is wedding, but please don’t come,’”
