The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, says he may not be alive to contest next year’s presidential election.
Mr Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, disclosed this in a podcast interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, which was posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
During the interview, Mr Jideonwo asked the NDC candidate whether there was any possibility that he would not fly the party’s flag in the 2027 presidential election.
“Not even a candidate. I might not even be alive. I’m telling you,” he responded, alleging that the current Nigerian government has been frustrating his activities and targeting opposition figures.
He continued, “Every single thing I do for a living, this government is frustrating. Deliberately so. So, there is even a possibility that, if they have the opportunity, I will not be alive.”
