APC focused, not distracted by coalition activities, says Morka

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Felix Morka, has said the party is unbothered by the coalition’s activities, emphasising that the APC remains the destination of choice for many Nigerians.

Morka said this on Channels TV’s Morning Brief on Friday while reacting to the ongoing Coalition talks among opposition leaders.

“We are not concerned so much about the activities of the so-called coalition because we are too busy putting our platforms together.The APC, as you noted, has been a destination of choice for a number of politicians and citizens who think and believe that this President has unfolded a vision that they can relate with.

“They see where this is going and they see that this President has embarked on a course that is promising to set Nigeria straight and correct generational mistakes that have been made. Every President raises up his hand to take the oath of office, he doesn’t take it for other parties or his party, he takes the oath to serve dutifully to the best of his ability. This President is doing just that,” he said.

Morka added that President Tinubu should be judged on his governance record, not political speculation.

He also criticised the PDP’s 16-year rule, calling it a disaster, and noted that former president Muhammadu Buhari served as a “stop-gap” president who set the stage for Tinubu’s more transformative leadership.

He stressed that the President is a busy man, and that the APC is doing what political parties are meant to do.

The APC Spokesman said: “I hear commentaries where people say why is APC endorsing the President, but, why is the opposition putting together a coalition?

“This is a political process. We are in a political democracy. The opposition will do what they are meant to do and they can do whatever they want to do under the law and under a democratic system. The ruling party also has the same right to do what it needs to do to advance its own case before Nigerians. I don’t think people should get unnecessarily hysterical about the activities of the APC or people joining the APC.When people are coming together to form a coalition, do you expect the APC to be void and not do anything?”

The APC spokesman insisted that the party would not be quiet, but that they would do their own part within the framework of the law and within the system that the nation operates, which he said is a democratic system.
