Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential contender, has said that his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s government puts his life in danger. On Monday, Obi posted this accusation using his official X handle.

This comes after All Progressives Congress (APC) National Spokesperson Felix Morka claimed that the former governor of Anambra State has “crossed the line so many times and has it coming to him whatever he gets.”

According to Obi, Nigeria is steadily turning into a repressive and authoritarian government where people’s right to free speech is being ruthlessly curtailed. As the country continues to veer towards undemocratic practices, the former governor of Nambra State declared that he would not be hushed in his desire to speak the truth.

“Have I really crossed the line? I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of ‘crossing the line’ and has warned that I will face the consequences.

“I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=waGknJ…

“If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum.

“We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.

“May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children,” he tweeted.
