The Presidency has described as ‘palpable’ the latest strategy of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, involving his supporters, the Obideient Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, in a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, accused Obi of using repeated claims about threats to his life as part of a political strategy.

Bwala made the allegation in reaction to Obi’s recent remarks in Berlin, Germany, where he claimed there had been an attempt on his life during a planned visit to Benue State in April 2025.

The president’s spokesman dismissed Obi’s claims and argued that they followed what he described as a pattern of making similar allegations.

“The desperation of Peter Obi is palpable. He recently travelled to Europe and was quoted to have alleged that the Governor of Benue wanted to kill him. Imagine lies from someone who said he wants to govern a country like Nigeria,” Bwala wrote.

Bwala equally referred to the recent controversy surrounding Obi’s claims of intimidation at Nigerian airports.

According to him, the former Anambra State governor had wrongly accused airport authorities after allegedly violating airport traffic regulations, suggesting that Obi’s latest allegation about his safety was intended to mobilise members of the Obidient Movement against political opponents.

“The other day he falsely accused airport officials of threatening his life when in fact he violated airport traffic rules.

“Lately his new found allegation on life may appear to be his strategy to use his Obidient movement to threaten people’s life like they have been doing on us,” he added.
