The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has alleged a threat to his life by Felix Morka, the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The allegation comes after Obi criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for failing to address the worsening economic and security challenges in the country.
According to Obi, Morka’s recent statement on Arise TV, where he said “Peter Obi Has Crossed the Line So Many Times and Has It Coming to Him Whatever He Gets,” is a threat to his life and the lives of his family members.
Obi, who served as the governor of Anambra State for eight years, had demanded “vigorous, positive actions” from the administration to bring relief to Nigerians, who he claimed were losing hope. He made this statement at a press conference on the state of the nation, titled “Nigeria Needs Selfless And Exemplary Leadership.”
In response to Obi’s allegations, Morka described Obi’s claims as “ridiculous” and accused him of being “deceptive”. Morka also stated that Obi had “crossed the line” and needed to relax and allow his lawyers to handle his case at the tribunal.
Obi’s statement on social media platform X reads:
