Jeffrey Guterman, a retired American mental health counsellor and a staunch supporter of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says he has received death threats.
He disclosed this in a tweet on his official Twitter handle on Friday.
According to Guterman, despite the death threats, he is not scared.
He added that he is instead, motivated to more strongly advocate for a truly free Nigeria.
He wrote, “I have received death threats, but I’m not scared.
“I am only motivated to more strongly advocate for a truly free Nigeria.”

The mental health counsellor did not, however, state what he suspects could be the reason for the death threats, it may not be unconnected to his constant criticism of Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar.
In August last year, Jeffrey Guterman had described Obi as the best candidate to lead Nigeria, owing to his “exemplary educational background and competence”.
“I have been asked countless times why I support Peter Obi and why I am interested in Nigeria and its politics. So I have decided to write a brief article explaining all of this. Whenever I am asked these questions, I can now point people to this article,” he wrote.
“After the church attack, I began looking closely at the upcoming presidential election in Nigeria. I researched the major candidates and it became obvious to me that Peter Obi was the only choice for a better Nigeria.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate for the All Progressives Congress, is a drug lord. Atiku Abubakar, the candidate for the People’s Democratic Party, laundered money. In contrast, Peter Obi, candidate for the Labour Party, has an exemplary educational background and he served as Governor of the Anambra State with competence.
“There are no flies on Peter Obi. He has a positive vision for Nigeria.”
In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom on Friday, replied to the state Governor-Elect, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, over his recent statement about the welfare of workers in the state.
Ortom, who spoke during an interview on Arise Television, said he felt sad about the statement, describing it as unfortunate.
