Former Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has decried a threat to his life and that of his family after a new years message he made in an interview.
Mr Peter Obi took to his X handle on Monday where he explained that Mr Felix Morka, the Executive Director of the Social and Economic Rights Action Center (SERAC) while accusing him of crossing the line has threatened his life and that of his family.
According to the post, he said:
“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.”
In the said video, Peter Obi was quoted to have said that the current government of Bola Tinubu needs to “sit down and work” in the new year, while he urged the President to visit various states and communities, highlighting the alarming levels of poverty in the country.
