The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in the February 25, 2023 Presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, on Sunday said he was being threatened for rejecting mind blowing offers made to him to stop his principled fight for a new Nigeria.
Fielding questions on Sunday night as a guest on X Space organized by “ParallelFacts,” Obi maintained that he is “ready to go through anything” as he is not afraid of death.
Though the former Anambra State Governor did not reveal the identity or identities of the individuals or groups who made him the offers or the threats, he vowed to always be on the right path.
According to Obi: “I can tell you the offers that I get today is mind blowing. On the other way round, for refusing the offer, what they want to do to me is also very frightening. But I am ready to go through anything.
“As I keep telling people, when they say, ‘Peter you’re putting your life in danger,’ if I die at sixty something, I did not die a young person. Some people died in their twenties, thirties and forties. And I have kids who are now graduates and doing their own things.
“If I go today, it’s fair enough; as long as I don’t deviate from these things that I said from the day I decided to get in government. I will always be on the right path….
“If I share what I face on a daily basis in this journey of restoring Nigeria with you, you’ll advise me to step down. I know the pains of being OUT when I can be IN. And people, telling me to look away or else they’d destroy me. But I am not fazed by all of those.
