Individuals Have Threatened To Shoot Me, Behead Me – Morka Alleges After Comment On Peter Obi

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has alleged that he and his family have received over 400 threats, including approximately 200 explicit death threats, following his recent comments about Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Morka disclosed this during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday, claiming Obi’s assertion sparked the threats that his remarks, during a Sunday interview on the same platform, amounted to a threat to the Labour Party candidate’s life.

The APC spokesperson had previously commented that Peter Obi “had crossed the line many times and should manage whatever he gets,” a statement that Obi interpreted as a veiled threat to his safety.

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.”

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

The APC chieftain further stated, “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.”
