Sam Omatseye, versatile journalist, has taken to social media to draw public attention to alleged threats to his life by supporters of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Theliberationnews gathered that Omatseye had on Monday published an article in The Nation, titled ‘Obi-tuary’, where he fired numerous shots at the former Anambra State governor.
The article stirred intense backlash from mostly supporters of Peter Obi, commonly called the Obedient.
Omatseye, via a tweet on Tuesday, cried out over the incessant threats he claims to have received from the ‘Obedients,’ urging Peter Obi to call his supporters to order.
According to the journalist, the presidential candidate will be held responsible if anything happened to him.
He tweeted, “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!”
In the controversial opinion article in The Nation, Omatseye 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.”
