Sam Omatseye, a journalist, claims that Peter Obi’s followers have threatened his life because of an article named “Obi-tuary” that was published on the presidential candidate.

According to journalist Sam Omatseye, Peter Obi’s Labour Party backers are allegedly out for the politician’s death.

Hours after publishing a story with the headline “Obi-tuary” and a picture of Peter Obi on The Nation newspaper, he made the accusation on his Twitter account.

Some of Peter Obi’s supporters found the article offensive and attacked him online. Some of them went on to put up a photo of Sam Omatseye announcing his obituary.

In a tweet he shared on his handle, Omatseye alleged that some of the supporters of the presidential candidate are after his life. He wrote;

”Mr. Peter Obi, call your supporters to order. They are calling and issuing death threats. If anything happens to me, you will be held responsible!!!!”
