“I eceived 400 threats, including 200 death threats after Obi lied against me” – APC Spokesman, Morka

The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka has raised the alarm that supporters of the former Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi sent him 400 threats, including 200 death threats.

He stated this on Wednesday that the threats were after Peter Obi claimed that the interview he granted threatened his own life.

Morka had granted an interview on Arise Television on Sunday sparking outrage and since then, there have been war of words between supporters of the two political figure in media.

In the interview, Morka accused Obi of “crossing the line” in his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, asserting that Obi “deserved whatever came his way.”

Reacting, Obi tweeted, asking Nigerians if he had truly crossed the line by attempting to the Tinubu’s administration accountable to the people. Obi’s tweet further triggered torrents of reactions from his followers across the world.

Morka said, “Peter Obi’s allegations that my words in that interview threatened his life have triggered serious consequences.

“As of now, I have documented 400 threats, about 200 of which are explicit death threats. These are written threats that I will be submitting to law enforcement agencies.

“In these messages, individuals have detailed how they plan to harm me—threatening to shoot me, behead me, and carry out other gruesome acts.

This is not mere rhetoric. It has even extended to direct threats against some members of my family. These are explicit and graphic threats, not vague insinuations.

“This entire situation is baseless and cannot be attributed to me. I did not threaten Peter Obi in any way. Those issuing these threats are acting on their own, but I trust that law enforcement will respond swiftly to bring them to justice”, he said.
