APC Spokesman Denies Threatening Peter Obi’s Life

Felix Morka, spokesman of All Progressives Congress (APC) has said he did not threaten Labour Party (LP) candidate during 2023 election, Peter Obi’s Life.

Obi had on Monday, January 6, 2025, said his life was being threatened because he criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

Obi his New Year message to Nigeria, voiced concern over the hardship being experienced by citizens and institutional corruption.”

Responding, Morko said the former Anambra state Governor said Atiku “has crossed the line so many times and has it coming to him whatever he gets– prompting Obi’s claim of threat to his life.”

The APC spokesman said Obi should stop peddling falsehood.

He said, “While everyone has a right to free speech, no one has a right to peddle misinformation or outright falsehood.”

“The right to free speech granted by our country’s Constitution is not Mr. Obi’s exclusive right but a right that is available to all Nigerians, including Morka.”

“Mr. Obi cannot disseminate misinformation and demand or expect that no one should disagree or challenge his false narrative.”

The APC spokesman alleged that the former governor leads a mob that issues death threats to anyone who disagrees with him.

He said, “Many eminent and highly respected elder statesmen have been serially attacked, humiliated and bullied by Obi’s online followers. Obi has never condemned their conduct or called them to order.”

“Obi must think himself to be Nigeria’s sacred cow, the super citizen, quintessential, without blemish, beyond reproach, always right, never wrong, and endowed with the supreme and inalienable right to deride, castigate, intimidate blackmail and incite Nigerians against other political leaders who disagree with him, even those who defeated him decisively in the last general election. “

“Mr. Obi is not entitled to any monolithic or exclusive constitutional or extraterrestrial liberty over and above any other citizen.”

Morka further said Obi has incited people against him by alleging that his life was threatened.

He added, “That is unacceptable. As a public figure, Mr. Obi bears a responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information.”
