In a recent interview on X Space hosted by “ParallelFacts” on Sunday, Mr. Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, opened up about facing menacing threats due to his refusal of lucrative offers.
The seasoned economic technocrat asserted his readiness to confront any challenges that may arise as a result of his principled stance.
During the interview, Obi shared that the offers presented to him were staggering, but he chose not to disclose the identity of the individuals or groups extending these tempting propositions. Despite the undisclosed nature of the offers, Obi expressed deep concern over the alarming consequences he could face for turning them down.
“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,” affirmed Obi during the conversation, NN News Media learnt
Addressing concerns about potential threats to his life, Obi remained resolute, emphasizing that fear of death would not deter him from staying true to his principles. He underscored his commitment to following the right path, regardless of the challenges he might encounter.
“As I keep telling people, when 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. 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 in government. I will always be on the right path,” declared Obi, highlighting his unwavering dedication to maintaining integrity in the face of adversity.
