The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023 election, Peter Obi said he has been receiving threats against his life after turning down incredible offers made to him following the election.
The former governor of Anambra insisted he is not afraid of the death threats, but did not disclose the names of the people or organizations that made the offers.
Obi disclosed this in an interview on X-Space anchored by ParallelFacts on Sunday.
His words: “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.”
