Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has recently dismissed the significance of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, labeling its leading figures as politically ineffective despite their individual profiles. In an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Morka expressed confidence that the APC has no reason to be threatened by the opposition alliance, asserting that its members lack the capacity to pose a serious challenge to the ruling party.
Morka specifically mentioned Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, prominent figures within the ADC coalition. He acknowledged their past political achievements—Abubakar as a former vice president, Amaechi as a former governor and minister, and Aregbesola as a former governor—but argued that these accomplishments do not equate to current influence. “Atiku Abubakar was a former vice president, Rotimi Amaechi was a former governor and minister, Rauf Aregbesola was a former governor; they have been everything else to be, “he. “.
But all of them put together, individually they look like they are superstars, but when they come together, they are ‘twinkle, twinkle, little stars’. They are making no impact whatsoever.”Furthermore, Morka challenged the ADC to provide evidence to support its claims of APC interference in its internal affairs. “.
Why would we be afraid when we have consistently won elections since 2023? Fear a party that is a non-starter? Fear a party that is almost as good as non-existent?
We have nothing to fear about the ADC, “he stated. He also suggested that the ADC’s allegations of interference are unfounded and that the party should present evidence of the APC’s involvement in their predicament.
Morka also attributed the ADC’s internal crisis to its own failings, suggesting that the party’s challenges are self-inflicted. “I’m beginning to think, quite frankly, based on the type of really inexcusable blunders that the ADC has committed, that this is all orchestrated, that the ADC is self-sabotaging, “he. His comments reflect a broader criticism of opposition figures, including Peter Obi, whom he accused of instability across political platforms. “.
These are people who clearly failed to manage the affairs of the parties where they came from. They use a revolving door to move to the next party, create more chaos, and blame the ruling party, “he added.
The APC spokesperson’s remarks come amidst a deepening leadership crisis within the ADC, following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to withdraw recognition of a faction led by former Senate President David Mark.
