From Emmanuel Uzor, Awka
Amid controversies surrounding the last presidential election, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, has raised alarm over threat to his life for allegedly refusing to accept what he described as mind-blowing offer as bribe.
Peter Obi made the revelation while fielding questions as a guest on X Space, organized by Parallelfacts where he said he is being threatened for refusing to accept the offer.
Obi who didn’t reveal the identity of the people threatening him nor the offers being made to him however maintained he is ready to go through anything.
He insisted that he was not afraid of death and would always be on the right path.
“I can tell you the offers that I got 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 20s, 30s, and 40s. 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.”
