The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, has dismissed the growing coalition within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing its leading figures as lacking real political influence.
Speaking during a Channels Television programme, Morka said the ruling party has no reason to feel threatened by the opposition alliance.
He referenced key figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, arguing that their past achievements do not translate into current political strength.
“Atiku Abubakar was a former vice president, Rotimi Amaechi was a former governor and minister, Rauf Aregbesola was a former governor; they have been everything else to be.
“But all of them put together, individually they look like they are superstars, but when they come together, they are ‘twinkle, twinkle, little stars’. They are making no impact whatsoever,” he said.
Morka also rejected claims that the APC is interfering in ADC’s internal affairs, challenging the party to provide evidence.
“Why would we be afraid when we have consistently won elections since 2023? Fear a party that is a non-starter? Fear a party that is almost as good as non-existent? We have nothing to fear about the ADC.
“ADC makes this allegation about APC’s interference, what exactly? ADC should furnish Nigerians with evidence of APC’s complicity in their predicament,” he stated.
He attributed the party’s internal crisis to its own shortcomings, suggesting the issues are self-inflicted.
“I’m beginning to think, quite frankly, based on the type of really inexcusable blunders that the ADC has committed, that this is all orchestrated, that the ADC is self-sabotaging,” he said.
Morka further criticised opposition figures broadly, accusing them of instability across political platforms.
“These are people who clearly failed to manage the affairs of the parties where they came from… they use a revolving door to move to the next party, create more chaos, and blame the ruling party,” he added.
