The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, has said that it was out of place for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to blame the ruling party for its internal crisis.
Morka made this statement when he featured on on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, alongside former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan.
According to him, the opposition cannot be blaming the APC for its predicament when the party does not have a settled national chairman and secretary.
Morka was reacting to Ologbondiyan’s claim that the recent defections of opposition leaders to the APC were as a result of threats of a witch-hunt by the ruling party.
“First of all, I am sure that my brother (Ologbondiyan) does not mean a whole lot what he said because he can’t possibly under any guise be blaming the APC for the utter dysfunction and immobility within the internal ranks of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party,” Morka said.
He queried how a party like the PDP, which according to him, cannot resolve issues surrounding its chairmanship and secretary, can be trusted to lead the country.
Meanwhile, the former PDP spokesperson maintained that no matter how many opposition leaders the APC manages to attract, the party will still have to contend with millions of Nigerians in its bid to retain power in 2027.
“But you know one thing, at the end of it all, it is going to be about the Nigerians’ position.
“You may pack all the 36 governors and put them in one boardroom and say they should declare for you. Have you packed the over 200 million Nigerians into the same boardroom? The answer is no,” he said.
