The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the 2027 election, Peter Obi, has stated that he may not be alive to contest the upcoming poll.
He alleged that the government is actively frustrating his activities and targeting key opposition figures.
Obi made these startling disclosures during a recent interview on With Chude, which was shared on X by media personality Chude Jideonwo on Wednesday.
When he was asked about the possibility of him failing to emerge as a candidate in 2027, Obi stated, “Not even a candidate. I might not even be alive. I’m telling you”.
The former Anambra State governor clarified that he was not making direct accusations against anyone but was simply describing his daily experiences of continuous obstruction.
When questioned on whether the government was launching a personal attack against him, he explained that the alleged unfair treatment extended to various members of the opposition.
To illustrate his point, Obi cited a specific incident at an airport where he claimed officials deliberately locked his car, even though other vehicles were parked in the very same area.
He further alleged that certain individuals now completely avoid associating with him in public out of fear of being targeted by authorities.
In addition, the former Labour Party presidential candidate claimed that some of his supporters went as far as discouraging him from attending family events for safety reasons.
Obi did not provide concrete evidence to support these allegations during the viral interview, and the Federal Government had yet to respond to the claims at the time of compiling this report.
