“Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the last presidential election, disclosed on Sunday that he has received threats for turning down lucrative offers. Speaking as a guest on X Space organized by ‘ParallelFacts,’ Obi affirmed his readiness to face any challenges.
Despite not revealing the identities of those making the offers, the former Anambra State governor emphasized his fearlessness, asserting that he is prepared to endure any consequences. He acknowledged the allure of the offers he receives but highlighted the equally frightening repercussions for refusing them.
In his own words, Obi stated, ‘I can tell you the offers that I get today are mind-blowing. On the other hand, for refusing the offer, what they want to do to me is also very frightening. But I am ready to go through anything.’
Addressing concerns about his safety, he expressed a resolute stance, stating, ‘If they say, “Peter, you’re putting your life in danger,” if I die at sixty-something, I did not die a young person. Some people died in their twenties, thirties, and forties. And I have kids who are now graduates and doing their own things.’
In a final declaration, Obi affirmed his commitment to principles, saying, ‘If I go today, it’s fair enough; as long as I don’t deviate from these things that I said from the day I decided to get into government. I will always be on the right path.'”
