PRESIDENCY ACCUSES PETER OBI OF USING ‘LIFE UNDER THREAT’ CLAIMS AS 2027 POLITICAL STRATEGY

July 20, 2026

The Presidency has alleged that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has adopted a new political strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections by making repeated claims that his life is under threat.


The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, made the allegation in a post on his verified X handle on Saturday while reacting to Obi’s recent remarks in Berlin, Germany, where the former Anambra State governor claimed there had been an attempt on his life during a planned visit to Benue State in April 2025.
