He alleged persistent intimidation and harassment by the current administration. The presidency has rejected the claim and accused him of playing politics. Whether you support Obi or not, should opposition politicians in Nigeria be worried about their safety, or is this simply campaign rhetoric ahead of 2027?
This is why Nigeria needs stronger institutions instead of stronger politicians. Today it's Obi, tomorrow it could be someone from APC or another party. Nobody should feel threatened for contesting an election.

That's the bigger issue. Strong institutions protect everyone, not just those currently in power. Elections should be contests of ideas, not courage.
I don't believe him. If his life was truly in danger, he wouldn't be holding rallies and interviews across the country.
