Defiant APC’s Morka, Says He Will Continue To Stand Up To Obi, Denies Threat Allegation

By Adesina Soyooye

National Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has distanced himself from any threat against Peter Obi and/or any plans to harm him.

Morka was reacting to the strong allegations Obi made that his life was being threatened over his New Year message to Nigerians for which Morka said Obi had crossed the borderline, and should expect what is in store for him.

Not a few people, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, took up Morka, and chastised him for what they agree is a threat against Obi.  A graduate mate of Morka, and Law Don, Sam Amadi, while describing Morka as a polished, decent human being who is not capable of harming Obi, said he didn’t know what has finally  become of Morka.

He did not deny saying that:

“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”, but

Morka insisted he issued no threats against Obi, his family or businesses. He, instead, accused Obi of delibertely misinterpreting what he said and dismissed  Obi’s Allegation as malicious and a distortion of facts and events.

Morka said:  “The allegation that I threatened Mr. Obi is a baseless lie and an intentional attempt to play the victim. Such a claim is not only false but also deeply irresponsible.”

He said that  Obi’s false accusations has resulted in an incitement of online attacks against him, Morka.

He noted: “As a public figure, Obi has a responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information to the public. Instead,  Obi has chosen to spread falsehoods in a bid to gain political leverage and attention.”

Morka asked Obi to retract what he called “unfounded claims, apologize for the damage caused, and urge his supporters to stop the threats and harassment against him and his loved ones. Such actions are not only harmful but also irresponsible, particularly coming from someone seeking to lead the nation.”
