Morka Mocks ADC Coalition, Says Atiku, Amaechi, Aregbesola Lack Political Impact

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has downplayed the strength of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, describing its leading members as ineffective in today’s political landscape.

Appearing on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Morka insisted the APC does not view the opposition alliance as a threat, arguing that it lacks the capacity to challenge the ruling party.

He cited prominent figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, saying their previous positions do not guarantee present influence.

“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 dismissed claims that the APC is meddling in ADC affairs, urging the opposition party to provide proof.

“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 blamed the ADC’s internal crisis on its own actions, suggesting the party’s challenges 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.

Extending his criticism, Morka accused opposition politicians, including Peter Obi, of contributing to 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.

The comments come as the ADC faces a deepening leadership dispute, particularly after the Independent National Electoral Commission withdrew recognition of a faction led by former Senate President David Mark.
