X USERS LAMBERT APC PUBLICTY SECRETARY, FELIX MORKA,’ OVER THREAT TO PETER OBI
It is with great concern and a deep sense of responsibility that I, condemn the recent incendiary remarks made by Mr. Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during his appearance on national television on the 5th of January 2025. His statements not only pose a direct threat to the life, reputation, and business interests of Mr. Peter Obi but also constitute an affront to the principles of democracy, decency, and responsible political engagement.
Mr. Peter Obi, a man of impeccable character, has devoted his life to the service of Nigeria and the pursuit of good governance. He has consistently demonstrated that competence, merit, and respect for the rule of law should guide leadership. To attack him with baseless allegations and threats is an indication of the APC’s inability to engage constructively on the issues that matter to Nigerians.
Such inflammatory rhetoric has no place in our democracy. It undermines national unity, discourages productive political discourse, and endangers lives. We remind Mr. Felix Morka and the APC leadership that words have consequences. The Labour Party will hold them accountable for any harm that befalls Mr. Peter Obi or his associates.
We urge security agencies to investigate this matter and ensure that those who use public platforms to incite violence or issue veiled threats are held to account. Political leaders must rise above pettiness and focus on addressing the pressing challenges facing our nation, including insecurity, unemployment, and economic instability.
The Labour Party remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the values of transparency, justice, and inclusion. We will not be cowed or distracted by threats or intimidation. Mr. Peter Obi represents hope and progress for millions of Nigerians, and we will continue to stand by him in his pursuit of a better Nigeria.
The APC must immediately issue a public apology to Mr. Peter Obi and retract the offensive statements made by its National Publicity Secretary. Anything less would be a tacit endorsement of such reckless and dangerous behavior.
As leaders, we owe it to Nigerians to promote peace, unity, and responsible political dialogue. Let us not forget that the true measure of leadership lies in how we treat one another, even in the face of disagreement.

Listening to Mr. Felix Morka today on Arise TV evoked a whirlwind of emotions—hilarity, confusion, disbelief, frustration, and anger.
His statements were baffling, blurring the lines between truth, fabrication, and the usual APC-style obfuscation.
Even the interviewers seemed perplexed, struggling to reconcile his contradictions. In one moment, he agreed to “available data,” only to deny its validity in the next.
For someone who emphatically claimed never to have threatened Mr. @PeterObi, his words tell a different story.
His angry remark that “whatever is coming to him, he should manage” starkly contradicts his alleged victimhood, where he claims to have received over 400 threats, including 200 death threats afterwards.
We live in a time when the APC government’s narrative is so muddled that even proverbial thunder seems unsure where to strike. But one thing is certain: this issue will not be swept under the carpet.
Should anything untoward happen to Mr. @PeterObi, his associates, or anyone linked to him, Felix Morka and the APC government will be held fully accountable.
Their public, televised threats are on record, and they cannot evade responsibility.
Furthermore, the recent baseless allegations of Mr. Peter Obi’s supposed arrest are nothing more than gimmicks—a desperate attempt to “test the waters.”
This is not going to end here. We will persist in demanding justice and accountability, no matter the games they play.

Mr. Morka himself has taught those young people how to behave like him. Every time he speaks, every time he vilifies, every time he tries to denigrate Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement, he’s actually describing himself,” Nana Kazaure stated.
In a stark acknowledgment of potential risks, Kazaure showed remarkable defiance: “We’re not afraid. Who knows? I may not get home because I’ve said what I have said. But like Peter Obi said, if this is the end, then so be it.”
The former LP spokesperson concluded with a passionate defense of Nigerian dignity: “Nigerians should not be spoken to as less than human beings. Nigerians should not be treated like animals. We’re not in a zoo.”
