The Presidency has described as ‘palpable’ the latest strategy of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, involving his supporters, the Obideient Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and
Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, in a post on his verified X handle on
Saturday, accused Obi of using repeated claims about threats to his life as
part of a political strategy.
Bwala made the allegation in reaction to Obi’s recent
remarks in Berlin, Germany, where he claimed there had been an attempt on his
life during a planned visit to Benue State in April 2025.
The president’s spokesman dismissed Obi’s claims and argued
that they followed what he described as a pattern of making similar
allegations.
“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 equally referred to the recent controversy surrounding
Obi’s claims of intimidation at Nigerian airports.
According to him, the former Anambra State governor had
wrongly accused airport authorities after allegedly violating airport traffic
regulations, suggesting that Obi’s latest allegation about his safety was
intended to mobilise members of the Obidient Movement against 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.
