Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has cried out over alleged threat to his life after advising President Bola Tinubu to sit down and work for Nigerians.
Obi raised the alarm in a post on his X handle on Monday as he claimed to have received several messages over the statement he made during his new year message.
Sharing the YouTube link of the new message where he had made the statement, Obi demanded that the spot where he crossed the line in the video be pointed out.
He also called out the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, who accused him of crossing the line while allegedly warning Obi that he will face the consequences.
The former Anambra state governor, however, held that he will not be silenced as he decried the alleged authoritarian and repressive regime of the APC.
His post read; “Have I really crossed the line?
“I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of “crossing the line” and has warned that I will face the consequences.
“I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch:

“If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum.
“However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.
“We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.
“May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children.”
