The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje on Wednesday threw his weight behind the embattled National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka.

Ganduje also described claims attributed to the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, as misleading, an act he said incited his online supporters to troll Morka.

He disclosed this in a statement personally signed by him in Abuja.

His clarification comes a few hours after the APC spokesman claimed that he and his family received 200 death threats over his inflammatory remarks from pro-Obi supporters.

Morka alleged that the threats were triggered by Obi’s accusation that his remarks during a Sunday interview on Arise Television constituted a threat to the Labour Party candidate’s life.

Morka’s earlier interview on Sunday sparked an outrage after he accused Obi of “crossing the line” in his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, asserting that Obi “deserved whatever came his way.”

His inflammatory remarks prompted Obi to tweet, asking Nigerians if he had truly crossed the line by attempting to the Tinubu’s administration accountable to the people
Morka, on Wednesday, claimed that Obi’s supporters were after him, allegedly sending 400 threats, including 200 death threats.

Morka said, “Peter Obi’s allegations that my words in that interview threatened his life have triggered serious consequences.


As of now, I have documented 400 threats, about 200 of which are explicit death threats. These are written threats that I will be submitting to law enforcement agencies.[b]

[b]“In these messages, individuals have detailed how they plan to harm me—threatening to shoot me, behead me, and carry out other gruesome acts. This is not mere rhetoric. It has even extended to direct threats against some members of my family. These are explicit and graphic threats, not vague insinuations.

“This entire situation is baseless and cannot be attributed to me. I did not threaten Peter Obi in any way. Those issuing these threats are acting on their own, but I trust that law enforcement will respond swiftly to bring them to justice.”

Ganduje, throwing his weight behind Morka on Wednesday, accused Obi of inciting an online mob against the ruling party.

Ganduje said, “By falsely claiming that Morka threatened his life, Mr Obi has libelled him in the extreme and incited his online supporters to issue death threats against Morka and his family.

“Morka’s comments during the interview were strictly in response to a question referencing ‘prophets of doom’ and ‘voodoo economics.’ Nothing in his statement constituted or suggested a threat to Obi or anyone else.

“Does Mr Obi expect the APC to fold its arms and allow the opposition to propagate falsehoods without any response?” Ganduje queried.

Ganduje maintained that the APC would continue to counter baseless allegations with facts against the Tinubu-led administration.

Abi, everyone is allowed to play the game

Obi has turned himself to a cry cry baby.

PussyOdour:
I think it's actually Morka and APC noneñtities that have actually turned themselves to cry cry baby.

MadamVanessa:



Fools everywhere.

A certain idiot named Morka claimed he received 200 death threats, but he provided no evidence. Interestingly, many people are reacting to his allegation. However, when the idiot Morka openly threatened Peter Obi and his family, saying Obi had crossed the 'red line,' there was hardly any outrage it was right for him to say that but it's wrong for Obi to post it and brought it to the awareness of the public that he and his family has been threatened. It seems some people think it's acceptable to threaten others, but when the victim speaks out, they're somehow in the wrong. It's wrong to threaten anyone, and victims have every right to share it.

Fools.

helinues:
Obidients is a group of people who are never interested in taking responsibility for their actions.

Infact, they are not even interested in taking ordinary 5% of what they have been dishing to others.

You see this year 2025 is political free, Obidients and Obi will hear wehn, infact una go see shege from us because all the tantrums the group have been throwing would no longer be tolerated . If you want to cry with this comments, go ahead

Btw, na better pikin dey bare PussyOdour?

Radarada and ingredients

Makunahatata:
where is Obi's evidence?

PussyOdour:
Not Obi fan but let's talk about the hypocrisy of APC supporters. Morka said it openly that Obi is crossing the red line, still go on to threatened h his family. Nobody reacted to it. No APC even say that what Morka said was wrong, instead I saw them calling Obi illiterate for not understanding what crossing of red line means. Please I need someone to tell me the literall meaning of 'crossing the red line'

I remember when Deborah was killed in sokoto, all the terrorist jihad defenders were saying that Deborah crossed the red line hence she deserves such a cruel and painful dead.

Morka came up to give figure of threats he received without any evidence and useless fools are reacting to it. Blaming Obi up and down..I don't understand this honestly.

Was it not a televised interview or was it said in secret?
