I’ve been sent over 200 death threats after my comment about Peter Obi — APC chief Felix Morka

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged he and his family have been receiving death threats following his comment about Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
According to him, the threats were instigated by Obi’s accusation that his comment about his New Year message constituted a death threat.
Morka’s reaction to Obi’s New Year message recently sparked outrage after he accused Obi of “crossing the line” in his criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the APC spokesperson said he has received over 200 death threats from suspected Obi’s supporters.
He 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.”
Morka also denied making any insinuation that could be interpreted as a threat to Obi’s life, saying his comment was a direct response to the question about the LP chieftain being labeled a voodoo economist and prophet of doom.
“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.
While dismissing Obi’s death threat claim, Morka asked the Labour Party chieftain to produce evidence of the alleged threats against his life and his family.
