IGBOS IN DIASPORA DEMAND MAXIMUM SECURITY FOR PETER OBI AS HE VISITS GERMANY AND LONDON

"Nothing Must Happen To Him" - Ohanaeze Diaspora, Obidients Issue Strong Warning

LONDON / BERLIN / ABUJA - September 2026 Igbo leaders and Obidient supporters in Germany and the United Kingdom have called on British and German authorities to ensure maximum security for former presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi as he embarks on official visits to both countries.

The call comes as Mr. Obi is expected to meet with Nigerians in diaspora, investors, and international partners in London and Berlin this week.



In a joint statement released on Tuesday, groups including Ohanaeze Ndigbo Germany, Ohanaeze UK, and Coalition of Obidients in Europe said Peter Obi is not just an Igbo leader but a symbol of hope for millions of young Nigerians.

"Peter Obi is our most valuable political voice. We are asking the governments of Germany and the United Kingdom to provide full protection during his stay. Nothing must happen to him on German or London soil," the statement read.

"We will hold peaceful rallies to welcome him. Any attempt to harass or harm him will be met with massive peaceful protests by law-abiding Igbos and Nigerians across Europe."



The diaspora leaders stressed that their response will be 100% lawful and peaceful.

- Peaceful welcome rallies in London, Berlin, Hamburg and Munich
- Petitions to UK Home Office and German Federal Police for VIP protection
- Live coverage of all his movements to ensure transparency
- Massive legal support if any threat arises

"We do not believe in violence. We believe in the law. In Germany and the UK, the law protects everyone. We will use the law," said Mr. Chidi Okoro, a coordinator in London.



Peter Obi has visited both countries several times since 2023 without any security incident. He enjoys huge support among Nigerians abroad, particularly Igbos who have organized town halls for him in major cities.

German and UK police typically provide security for high-profile foreign political figures on request.

The Nigerian High Commissions in London and Berlin have been notified of his visits, sources said.



The message from Igbos abroad is not warfare - it is protection and vigilance. They want their leader safe, celebrated, and respected on foreign soil, and they are ready to use peaceful, legal means to ensure it.

Your Principal that is currently in France for medical reasons in the name of vacation, does it mean we don't have good hospitals in Nigeria, and if we don't have, what is he doing as a President of Nigeria in that regard?

Shut up and stop talking nonsense out of tribalism and hypocritical mindset.

Or it is Tinubu that travel abroad for 3weeks now, that is unserious candidate and content creator and looking for diaspora vote.

Or tinubu just want to collect money and claim he won election. Tinubu should just retire from politics because that is not his calling

H E Mr Peter Obi has never been threatened or attacked outside the shores of this country.
The aforementioned countries are different from the dysfunctional Nigeria where security of lives is minimal.
This purported group are crying wolf where there is none.
They are at best seeking for relevance.

security is not demanded AFTER an attack, it is demanded BEFORE it. Peter Obi has millions of supporters and also political opponents. Asking UK and German police to protect a presidential candidate during an official visit is standard protocol worldwide. It's not crying wolf, it's being responsible.

He has never been attacked because people have always demanded protection for him. That's the point. In 2023, campaigns were attacked in Nigeria. If we learn from history and ask for security abroad, how is that seeking relevance? Prevention is better than cure

Joblessness is making you talk nonsense.

Go and look for job even if it is to carry pure water on your head and be hawking it.
