‘Have I Really Crossed The Line?’—Peter Obi Cries Out Over Threat To Life
The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has alleged threat to his life after his message for the new year.
The former Anambra State Governor in his new year message had without fear criticised President Bola Tinubu’s led government.
Obi had lamented the political, economic, security, healthcare situation taking a downward turn in the country despite government’s contrary positions and claims of improvement in different spheres of human endeavour.
However, in a recent interview, the national spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, was quoted to have said that “Peter Obi has crossed the line so many times and has it coming to him whatever he gets”.
Reacting to Morka’s statement via his X handle on Monday, Obi questioned if he has “really crossed the line” after receiving threats against his life, family, and associates following his New Year’s message.
He challenged anyone who thinks he has crossed the line to watch the New Year message video and point it out to him where he did, expressing his commitment to upholding decorum.
He wrote:
“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:

“If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.
“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. -PO”
