APC’s spokesperson to Obi: Provide evidence of death threats — your allegations are baseless

• He strongly denied making any comments that could be interpreted as threatening Obi’s life, describing the allegations as baseless.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, has challenged Peter Obi to provide proof of alleged death threats against him and his family.

Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, claimed his New Year message sparked threats to his life and family.

During an Arise TV appearance, Morka responded to Obi’s message, stating: “Obi has crossed the line so many times… whatever he has coming to him, he should manage it.”

Afterwards, Obi revealed he received death threats following Morka’s comments, prompting Morka to demand evidence.

Morka clarified his comment was a response to Obi being labelled a voodoo economist and prophet of doom during an appearance on Arise TV’s The Morning Show.

“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.
