The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka has said that nothing suggested threat to life in what he said to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi and his family.
Recall that Obi has alleged that his New Year message has led to threats on his life and that of his family.
While featuring on Arise TV, Morka reacted to Obi’s message, saying: “Obi has crossed the line so many times… whatever he has coming to him, he should manage it.”
Obi disclosed thereafter that he received death threats after Morka’s words, with the latter daring him to show evidence.
Morka, who was a guest on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, stated that his comment was a direct response to the question about Obi being labelled a voodoo economist and prophet of doom.
“If Peter Obi was called a prophet of doom or was called a voodoo economist, he has it coming to him because he has crossed several lines of truth, end of story.
“There’s nothing else to suggest (threats) in those words that I said in the moment of the interview. Peter Obi is speaking a lot of falsehood.
“He who alleges must prove. If Peter Obi says anyone threatened him, he must beyond just saying I’ve been threatened.
“For a man in his standing, I think he should supply some evidence of those who threatened him because if anyone threatened Peter Obi, we should not be having a conversation in your studio.
“The law enforcement system should be looking for those who threatened Obi’s life,” Morka said.
