The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, has revealed that he has received over 400 threats, including 200 explicit death threats due to remarks he made about Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election.
Morka made the claim during another appearance on Arise Television on Wednesday
The spokesman for the ruling party said the threats were triggered by Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election’s claim that his remarks during another interview constituted a threat to his life.
“Peter Obi’s allegations that my words in that interview threatened his life have triggered serious consequences,” Morka said.
“These are not empty words,” Morka stated.
“I have documented approximately 200 explicit death threats. People have detailed plans to shoot me, behead me, and carry out other horrific acts.
“These threats extend to my family, and I will be forwarding them to law enforcement agencies for immediate action,” he alleged.
Morka categorically denied issuing any threats against Obi, calling the allegations baseless and unfounded, adding that his initial comments were misconstrued and did not amount to incitement or a call for violence.
“This entire situation has been blown out of proportion. At no point did I threaten Peter Obi or suggest harm should come to him.
“The individuals behind these threats are acting independently, and I have full confidence that the authorities will address this appropriately,” he added.
