Morka didn’t threaten Obi – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed Obidients after they criticised its Spokesperson, Felix Morka, for calling out former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on national television.

Morka had called out Obi on Arise TV over his constant criticism of the President Bola Tinubu administration.

He also dismissed a presenter’s claim that he dished so much attack on Obi who once governed Anambra State.

“No, he is the one that is throwing darts. Mr Obi is shooting from the hip. He is not looking, he is not taking an aim. He just shoots wildly like what we used to see in movies back in the day, in the Wild Wild West,” Morka said.

He said Obi is irrational in his thinking and in his public commentary, “for a man who was governor for eight years, who left nothing to remember in Anambra State by a way of legacy or transformation.”

Morka said the former governor who couldn’t make Anambra the example of governance in the country, is sulking because he lost the 2023 presidential election to Tinubu.

He said Obi should disregard the idea that he can bring down the government by being maliciously deceptive, just as he urged him to rather focus on why he lost the presidential election.

He concluded by stating that he’s not the type to go on the offensive “but Mr Obi has crossed the line so many times and I think that at this point he has coming to him whatever he gets, he needs to manage it.”

Morka’s words were taken as a threat against Obi by the Obidients who took to social media to call him out.

Obi himself wondered if he really crossed the line for sharing a New Year message that he claims led to “threats against my life, my family, and those around me.”

He said in addition to the threats he received, Morka is now accusing him of crossing the line and warning that he will face consequences.

Obi added, “However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.”

Reacting, the APC shared on X, “After losing the argument, typical Obidients have resorted to spreading false and malicious information suggesting that Felix Morka, APC NPS, threatened @PeterObi’s life. As clip and transcript show, Morka’s answer to @ARISEtv question contains no threat, whatsoever, against anyone.”
