The presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has raised concerns about his safety ahead of the 2027 poll.
Obi, who made the disclosure in a recent chat with media personality Chude, hinted at the systemic frustration of his businesses while sharing the challenges opposition figures in Nigeria currently face.
Responding to whether he was certain to be on the ballot in 2027, Obi replied, “Not even a candidate. I might not even be alive. I’m telling you.
“Every single thing I do for a living, this government is frustrating it. Deliberately so. Everything. So, there is even a possibility, if they have the opportunity, I will not be alive.”
Speaking further, Obi clarified that while he was not levelling a direct accusation, his daily life has been plagued by targeted obstruction.
According to the former Anambra governor, the authorities avoid direct confrontation, but their hand has been evident in his routine hurdles.

“They are attacking everybody who is in opposition personally,” Obi said.
Buttressing his point, Obi revealed a recent airport encounter where officials allegedly locked his vehicle while ignoring other parked cars.
He added that upon identification, he was dismissed by the officer in charge.
“But I said, ‘Look at the cars of other people.’ And you could see them talking to each other, as if, ‘Who is this one?’
“I have people send me invitations and say, ‘My son, my daughter is wedding, but please don’t come,’” Obi stated.
