Tuesday, March, 17 2026 - The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Felix Morka, has attributed the recent wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the opposition’s internal crisis and inability to provide a credible political platform.
Morka made the remark on Arise Television’s morning show
while reacting to the growing number of defections from the opposition party to
the ruling APC.
According to him, the PDP can no longer effectively function
as a political party due to internal crisis and inability to provide a credible
political platform for its members.
“The PDP is no longer able to call itself a political party.
The PDP is incapable, by its own internal dysfunction, of offering its members
any sensible, credible, smart, actionable platform to pursue their political
aspirations,” Morka said.
He added that defections to the APC should be seen as an
endorsement of the ruling party rather than a sign that Nigeria is drifting
toward a one-party state.
“When people decamp to the APC, it is an endorsement of the
party. It is a statement that the APC is able to offer what the opposition
cannot offer, and that is not our fault,” he said.
Morka also dismissed concerns that Nigeria is becoming a
one-party state, describing such claims as misleading.
He said, “When people suggest that the country is turning
into a one-party state, that is utterly mischievous because it does not take
into account the history and realities of a democratic society like we have in
Nigeria.”
