“Peter Obi always shopping for uncontested tickets” – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has claimed that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party lacks the capacity to build any political party.

Felix Morka, the spokesperson for the ruling party, accused Obi of being a serial defector who focuses on junketing from one party to another.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics today, Morka said Obi is only interested in obtaining the presidential ticket, on a platter of gold, without any form of contest.

Morka said, “Peter Obi was with the Labour Party candidate in 2023, the same thing is happening; Obi is perpetually shopping for a party where he can clinch tickets uncontested.

“He does not want to build a party, he cannot build a party, he is not interested in building a party.

“His own is to simply search around, snatch a ticket to run the presidential election,” Morka noted.

He further accused Obi and key leaders of the coalition movement of hijacking the African Democratic Party (ADC).

Morka said the coalition leaders failed to put in the work by forging their alliance without due diligence.

“You know, the ADC itself was a victim of the hijack of these same people without reference to their constitution, without reference to the rule of law, without even reference to sheer decorum to sort things out with those who were in leadership within the party,” he said.

Also stating that while the activities of the opposition at the Ibadan Opposition Summit over the weekend are not of concern to the ruling party, Morka condemned the threat to violence issued by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State at the event.
