Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has faulted the statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka to the effect that Mr Peter Obi, the presidential flag bearer of the Labour Party, LP, has ‘crossed the line’.

Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election specifically described Morka’s statement as ‘inflammatory’ and ‘disturbing’ and ‘crude’.

The former Vice President pointed out that the choice of words used by the APC’s spokesperson, particularly the ominous suggestion that Obi has “crossed the line,” reveals an alarming disdain for democratic principles.

Such language rooted in hostility, he maintained, has no place in a free society where civil discourse and engagement should reign supreme.

The statement by Atiku reads, “The inflammatory remarks issued by the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, directed at @PeterObi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, serve as a disturbing emblem of the current administration’s unsettling strategy in addressing opposition figures.

“This threat against Obi, coupled with the prolonged detention of Mahdi Shehu, a prominent voice of dissent and others, signals a worrisome shift towards an authoritarian governance model, where the rights of opposition voices are being suffocated.

“The choice of words used by the APC’s spokesperson, particularly the ominous suggestion that Obi has “crossed the line,” reveals an alarming disdain for democratic principles.

“Such language, rooted in hostility, has no place in a free society where civil discourse and engagement should reign supreme.

“A true democracy thrives on the healthy exchange of ideas, where the criticisms and contributions of opposition leaders, like Peter Obi, are seen as vital for the betterment of governance and the promotion of public accountability.

“It is not merely the right, but the solemn duty of a democratic government to listen attentively to the voices of its critics, to engage in meaningful dialogue, and to allow space for the articulation of alternative viewpoints. “Instead, we are faced with a chilling threat that suggests Obi must “be ready for whatever comes his way.” What, exactly, does Mr. Morka imply by this?
