Need to Beef Up Security Around Peter Obi

The alarm raised last week by the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, saying he may not be alive to contest the 2027 general election needs to be taken seriously.

Obi, who spoke during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Obi suggested that his life was under threat because President Bola Tinubu’s government was constantly frustrating and targeting him.

During the interview, 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.”
