Sam Omatseye, a veteran journalist, has alleged death threat from the supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Omatseye had asked Obi to call his supporters to order in a tweet Tuesday, raising that Obi should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
“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!,” he tweeted.
The Daily Reality learned that this was however coming barely 24 hours after Omatseye’s latest article in The Nation newspaper titled ‘Obi-tuary’.
It was gathered that Omatseye in the piece described Obi as a shelter for miscreants, saying, “Obi has turned out to be an excuse for even closet Biafrans to betray open emotions about Biafra without being accused of it.
“This includes intellectuals who did not show mercy to him while he reigned in Anambra as a pharisaic chief executive. It is like wearing a colour beneath another colour. Obi has become a shelter for both miscreants and activists of the crowd.”
