Peter Obi cries out over threats on family over New Year message

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has cried out over the threat of life on his family over his New Year Message.

While sharing his New Year message, Peter Obi called for “vigorous, positive actions” to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians, adding that many citizens were losing hope.

Reacting to the New Year Message of Peter Obi, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, accused Mr Obi of hypocrisy and attempting to incite public outrage against the government.

A few days after his New Year message, Peter Obi has cried out over a series of threats from anonymous people to his family.

According to him, he was told he “crossed the line” with his message.

Taking to his X page, 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.

I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch it:

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. -PO”.
