The suggestion that Felix Morka, the national publicity secretary for the All Progressives Congress (APC), is planning a plot against Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has been dismissed by Sam Amadi, the director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts.
Amadi’s statement against Obi was attributed to what he dubbed the APC curse.
In his New Year’s speech, Obi had criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration and claimed that he had been threatened with death.
In a post on his X handle yesterday, the former Anambra State governor asked if he has “really crossed the line” following alleged threats against his life, family, and associates.
In a Sunday interview with Arise TV, Morka made a claim that was attributed to him: “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.”

Reacting, Amadi posted on X: “I know @Morka2Felix as reasonable and intelligent. We took graduate courses together. He’s refined. I don’t know what got over him. I hear about the @OfficialAPCNg curse.
“May be. But I don’t see him plotting evil against @PeterObi for good natured criticism. That’s unlike Felix.”
Meanwhile, the Obidient Movement, in a statement signed by Dr Yunusa Tanko, said it considered Morka’s remark a direct threat to Obi’s life, and the peace of the Nigerian state.
The Obidient Movement said it views the statement as not only an attack on the vocal 2023 LP’s presidential candidate, but also a dangerous signal of the country’s descent into authoritarianism under the Tinubu administration.
