Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, says he is ready to die for Nigeria. In an interview aired by Nevon Media on Tuesday, Obi frames his comments around the country’s security crisis, arguing that effective leadership must respond decisively to insecurity. He says “one person must be in charge” of addressing security challenges and uses conflict-related language about declaring war, adding that those who want to live with the outcome must be prepared to die if necessary. Obi also links his position to the risk of non-state actors taking control, saying Nigeria should not allow such groups to take over the state. The reports also state that he reiterates he has no reason to hold a passport of any other country, positioning the remarks as part of a broader commitment to Nigeria. Across the sources, the common theme is Obi’s stated readiness to make a personal ultimate sacrifice, presented in the context of his views on how Nigeria should handle security threats.
