Nation Newspaper Editorial Board Chairman, Sam Omatseye has cried out over alleged threat to his life as Nigerians continued to express anger for using the word Obi-tuary in a commentary on the person of the Labour Party, LP presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general election, Peter Obi.

Sam Omatseye had written and published an article entitled “Obi-tuary” in the Nation Newspaper, where he made several statement often allegations and vilification against the person of Peter Obi.

Sam Omatseye in a tweet on Tuesday evening, said he’s receiving death threat from people he alleged to be supporters of Peter Obi in the forthcoming presidential election.

“Mr. Peter Obi, call you supporters to order. They are calling and issuing death threats. If anything happens to me, you will be held responsible!!!!”, he said.

You called Mr Peter Obi supporter Obituary, don’t you know the meaning of obituary? You issued the death threat first, you are not getting more of it, you started crying. We see your own death threats to Mr Obi supporters but we can’t find their own death threat to you.

Sam Omatse-yamutu

Just returning the same energy as that stupid headline of yours.

Maybe next time you will get over your midlife crisis, act your age and stop trying to sound like a 21 year-old Twitter edgelord when you're actually a 61 year-old grandfather.

Silly man.

If anything happens to Peter Obi with the Obituary article you wrote, we will hold you responsible.

So if someone says in his view you are dead you will take it lightly?

This is the same thing he wrote in the article. You people hound people that share different opinion to you. Besides, he's not the person in the picture.
