The Presidency has claimed that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has adopted a new political strategy involving members of the Obidient Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The allegation was made by the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, in a post shared on his verified X handle on Saturday.

Bwala accused Obi of repeatedly alleging threats to his life, claiming the assertions form part of a calculated political approach.

The presidential aide was reacting to comments Obi reportedly made in Berlin, Germany, where he alleged that there was an attempt on his life during a planned visit to Benue State in April 2025.

Rejecting the allegation, Bwala argued that Obi’s statement was consistent with what he described as a recurring pattern of making similar claims.

“The desperation of Peter Obi is palpable. He recently travelled to Europe and was quoted to have alleged that the Governor of Benue wanted to kill him. Imagine lies from someone who said he wants to govern a country like Nigeria,” Bwala wrote.

Bwala also referenced the recent dispute surrounding Obi’s allegations of intimidation at Nigerian airports.

According to him, the former Anambra State governor wrongly accused airport authorities after allegedly breaching airport traffic regulations, adding that Obi’s latest claim about his safety was aimed at rallying members of the Obidient Movement against his political opponents.

“The other day he falsely accused airport officials of threatening his life when in fact he violated airport traffic rules.

“Lately his new found allegation on life may appear to be his strategy to use his Obidient movement to threaten people’s life like they have been doing on us,” he added.
