“Nothing Must Happen To Peter Obi Or Else……” – Igbo Youths Warn

The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, or COSEYL, has issued a warning about purported terrorist assassination preparations for Labour Party presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi.

In a statement released on Saturday, the coalition’s President-General, Goodluck Ibem, claimed that some terrorists allegedly notified recently freed captives of their kidnapped victims that they had finalized plans to assassinate Obi because of his decision to run for president in 2023, claiming Obi is a threat.

In response to the threat, COSEYL stated that Peter Obi has the constitutional right to run for any political office of his choice as a legitimate citizen of Nigeria, warning that the threat may lead to war.

The group said in the statement, “Nobody should think that he or she has a monopoly of violence. That we are peaceful does not mean that we are weak or senseless.

“Mr Peter Obi as a bonafide citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and born in Nigeria has the constitutional right to contest for any political office he deems fit and nobody can stop that.

“Anyone who thinks he wants to attack Peter Obi is sick and the sickness will be treated appropriately at the right time.

“Only a wicked and idiotic person will be comfortable with the current state of the nation. Our country is in dire need of a drastic change that will turn things for good and some people are plotting to make matters worse because of their selfish agenda.

“We want these criminals to know that even a mad man is owned by some people and if you touch him thinking that as a mad man roaming on the street, he has nobody, his real owners will come out to defend him.

“We call on the security agencies to immensely move into action and arrest the real criminals plotting to assassinate Mr Peter Obi just because he is contesting for the office of the President which he is eminently qualified to do so. Enough said!”
