"I'm ready to die for Nigeria," says Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi, has declared that he is willing to sacrifice his life for Nigeria.

Obi made the statement during an interview broadcast by Nevon Media on Tuesday.

He emphasized that a single individual must take responsibility for addressing the country’s security challenges.

“I said one person must be in charge. We declare war. If you’re ready to live, you must be ready to die. If you’re not ready to die, go home,” he said.

Obi also reiterated that he has no reason to hold a passport from any other country.

“I’m ready to die for Nigeria. It’s one country. We cannot have non‑state actors take over the state,” Obi said.
