APC spokesperson denies threatening Obi

Date:

By Jude Opara

Spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Felix Morka, on Tuesday accused the Labour Party, (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of lying about alleged threat to his life.

Morka said contrary to Obi’s claims, he never threatened the life of the former presidential candidate or his family.

Obi had accused Morka of threatening his life following his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration in his New Year message.

He asked if he has “really crossed the line” following alleged threats against his life, family, and associates.

Obi’s allegation followed a statement credited to Morka, in an interview with Arise TV on Sunday, where he said, “Peter Obi has crossed the line so many times and he has what’s coming to him, and whatever he gets, he should manage it.”

Reacting, Morka asserted that Obi quoted him out of context because he never threatened his life, stressing that the former Anambra State governor should set the record straight.

In a statement he signed, the APC spokesman said: “On his verified official X handle, Mr Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, has alleged, in his own words, that “my New Year Message has now led to threats to my life, my family, and those around me.

“While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of “crossing the line” and has warned that I will face consequences.” Ostensibly, Mr Obi’s allegation is in reference to Morka’s answer to a question during an interview on AriseTV’s THIS WEEK program on Saturday, January 4, 2025.

“To be clear and for the record, Morka did not threaten Mr Obi or his family or those around him or anyone. Morka has absolutely no reason to, and has never, threatened Obi or anyone.

“Nothing that Morka said in that interview or any other forum remotely contains or suggests threat against Mr. Obi or anyone else, as the verbatim transcription of the relevant clip indisputably attests.

“Mr. Obi’s allegation that Morka threatened his life is a self-evident malicious lie and an attention-seeking, playing-the-victim, emotional blackmail. His claim is patently false and reprehensible.

“By falsely claiming that Morka threatened his life, Mr. Obi has libeled Morka in the extreme, and has incited his online mob to make death threats against Morka and members of his family.

“That is unacceptable. As a public figure, Mr. Obi bears a responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information. Instead, he has chosen to peddle falsehood and mislead Nigerians in quest for political currency and relevance.

“We call on Mr. Obi to immediately set the record straight, withdraw his false allegation against Morka, and call his online supporters to order. Morka, stands ready to explore all available recourse mechanisms in valiant defence of his decency and impeccable reputation.

“As the National Spokesman of the ruling Party, I will continue to hold Obi and other opposition actors accountable for their actions just as they seek to, and should, hold our great Party and administration accountable, when truth and public trust are compromised.”
