The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the 2027 election, Peter Obi, says he may not be alive to contest the poll, alleging that the government is frustrating his activities and targeting opposition figures.
Obi made the remarks during an interview on With Chude, which media personality Chude Jideonwo posted on X on Wednesday.
Responding to a question on whether there was a possibility he might not be a candidate in 2027, Obi said, “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.”
He, however, clarified that he was not making direct accusations but described daily experiences of obstruction.
