Socio-political commentator Reno Omokri claims that his life is in danger.
He claimed that if he did not endorse Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), he would face threats to his life.
On Friday, Omokri said that he and his family were in danger because of his social media criticism of Peter Obi.
In earlier posts, Omokri had stated that Obi wouldn’t be Nigeria’s next president.
In one of his most recent interviews, he rebuked the former governor of Anambra for referring to himself as a pilot and criticizing other presidential candidates for being “simple drivers.”
According to Omokri, his statement has led to threats from Obi’s followers known as ‘Obidients’
On his Twitter page, he wrote: “The threats are too much. My life is at risk. If anything happens to me, my wife, my children, or siblings, the world should hold Peter Obi responsible.
“He has raised a horde of intolerant and violent Obidients who just want to replace Buhari’s tyranny with theirs!
“Other Nigerians are observing what you people are doing to me. I reiterate what I said. Peter Obi was wrong to describe himself as a pilot and other Presidential candidates as “mere drivers”. The people of Kano heard it. The North heard. Other Nigerians heard it!”
