Labour Party national leader, Peter Obi, has taken to social media to ask Nigerians if he has “crossed the line” after receiving threats against his life, family, and associates following his New Year’s message.

Obi’s message was met with criticism from Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who accused Obi of making absurd accusations against the APC and its supporters.

Morka claimed that Obi had been “way too sanctimonious” and needed to relax and let his lawyers handle his case at the tribunal.

However, Obi remains committed to speaking truthfully, especially as he believes Nigeria is drifting towards undemocratic practices and becoming increasingly authoritarian.

Obi’s New Year’s message, which he shared again on social media, urges Nigerians to watch and share their thoughts on whether he’s indeed crossed the line.

He invites anyone to point out where he’s gone wrong, reiterating his commitment to upholding decorum while speaking truth to power.


Full statement below;

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.

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.

Where you dey go sef?

You didn't cross the line, Mr. Peter Obi.

In fact, there's no line to cross here.

The APC cannot take half of what they dish out.

During the Goodluck Jonathan government, the APC crossed numerous lines, bridges, etc using lies, falsehood and propaganda, in their criticism against the Goodluck Jonathan government. They even threatened fire and brimstone, going as far as threatening to form a parallel government. No one told them that they had crossed the line.

Today, they are telling the biggest political figure in Nigeria that he has crossed the line.


Thunder 🔥 Tinubu and the APC.
