The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has lamented death threats to his life, family and those around him.

Obi made this known in a post shared on his social media page on Monday, January 6, 2025.

According to the former Anambra State Governor, since he made his New Year message criticising President Bola Tinubu’s government, he has received numerous threats.

He demanded to know if he had ever crossed the line in his criticisms that warranted threats to his life.

Obi revealed that Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary, APC, claimed he had crossed the line and warned that he would face the consequences.

Peter Obi, however, vowed never to be silenced or intimidated into not speaking against bad governance under the leadership of President Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Read his post below.

“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. 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"
