Nigeria’s Minister of Works, David Umahi, dismisses claims by opposition presidential candidate Peter Obi that political opponents want him dead. Umahi makes the statement while inspecting legacy projects in Ebonyi State, according to reports from Daily Post Nigeria and Vanguard. He says nobody is threatening Obi’s life and describes Obi’s comments about a possible death plot as a sign of frustration. The two outlets report that Umahi links Obi’s remarks to concerns about President Bola Tinubu, suggesting Obi may be reacting to his political situation rather than to an actual threat. Both accounts attribute the dismissal to Umahi and present his position as a direct response to Obi’s earlier statement. The reports do not provide details of who is alleged to be threatening Obi or any independent confirmation of the death-threat claims. Instead, they focus on Umahi’s denial and his characterization of Obi’s statement as stemming from political pressure.
