presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has raised serious concerns about his personal safety and survival leading up to the 2027 general elections.
Speaking in an intimate interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the former Anambra State governor paints a grim picture of what it currently means to be an opposition figure in Nigeria.
When asked directly if he was certain he would be on the ballot for the 2027 presidential poll, Obi gave a chilling response.
“Not even a candidate. I might not even be alive. I’m telling you,” Obi stated plainly.
According to Obi, the current administration is deliberately targeting his personal life and businesses in an effort to frustrate him out of the political space.
“Every single thing I do for a living, this government is frustrating it. Deliberately so. Everything,” Obi alleged during the interview. He went a step further, hinting that the hostility could escalate to the absolute worst-case scenario: “So, there is even a possibility, if they have the opportunity, I will not be alive.”
While Obi clarified that he isn’t making a direct, formal accusation of a plot against his life, he insists that his day-to-day reality is being plagued by targeted obstruction and coordinated psychological pressure.
