Obi’s supporters threatening to kill me, my family, APC spokesman Felix Morka cries out “Peter Obi’s allegation that the words I spoke in that interview threatened his life. As I speak, I have documented not less than 400 threats,” Mr Morka stated. AHMED OLUWASANJO • JANUARY 9, 2025 Morka and Obi Embattled spokesman for the ruling APC, Felix Morka, says he has received at least 200 death threats from Peter Obi’s supporters following the latter’s alleged false claim that his life was threatened. The APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, said he was standing by Mr Morka and his controversial statement. Mr Morka made this claim in an interview aired on ARISE TV on Wednesday. “Peter Obi’s allegation that the words I spoke in that interview threatened his life. As I speak, I have documented not less than 400 threats, over 200 of which are death threats,” the APC national spokesman said. “Written texts that I have carefully documented and which I’m providing to the law enforcement agencies.” “People graphically telling me how they intend to to take me out. To shoot me, behead me in graphic language. This is not a joke. It has gone further to some members of my family who have been threatened in graphic language,” the disturbed politician disclosed. “What has triggered this insanity cannot be attributed to me. I did not threaten Peter Obi. I hope that our law enforcement agencies will bring those individuals to justice.” Asked if the threats he said he received were from Mr Obi’s supporters (Obidients), Mr Morka said, “I have been threatened that those who in their text professed loyalty to Peter Obi. Yes, these are people who profess loyalty to Peter Obi.” Mr Obi, who ran against Mr Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election in which he came third but claimed to be the winner, had recently raised the alarm that the APC government is punishing him and his family and forcing his associates to distance themselves from him. However, in an ARISE TV interview aired on Sunday, the ruling party’s spokesman, Felix Morka, claimed Mr Obi is still sulking over his electoral loss and acting irrationally in an attempt to bring down Mr Tinubu’s government. The APC spokesman, who called Mr Obi of the Labour Party a “prophet of doom” and “voodoo economist,” accused the opposition figure of “shooting from the hip.” “Mr Obi is shooting from the hip. He is not looking. He is not taking aim. He just shoots widely, like what we used to see in the movies. He is not being rational,” Mr Morka stressed. “He is absolutely irrational in his thinking and public commentary.” “But Mr Obi has crossed the line so many times, and I think at this point, he has coming to him whatever he gets,” the APC spokesman declared. The Obidient Movement said the APC was endorsing violence against Mr Obi just as APC on Tuesday attempted to explain why its spokesman accused the former Anambra governor of crossing a line. Last week, the APC accused Mr Ob of inciting Nigerians against Mr Tinubu’s government.
