The APC Spokesperson Speaks on Coalition Talks: "Utomi's Shadow Government Declaration is Evidence of Thriving Democracy"

Allied Progressive Congress (APC) Entitled to Respond to All Critics; Coalition Matter Not a Source of Concern - Morka (paraphrased)

In a recent interview with News Central, Felix Morka, the spokesperson for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), discussed the coalition talks among some Nigerian politicians and parties. Morka expressed that the APC and President Bola Tinubu are unperturbed by these coalition discussions.

Morka stated that during the 2023 election, Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Tinubu were all contenders. Tinubu's victory proved that no coalition or movement championed by Pat Utomi could destabilize the APC or President Tinubu. He further added that Utomi's attempts to create a coalition with others prior to the election had minimal impact on the election's outcome.

Regarding Utomi's recent declaration of a shadow government, Morka argued that it symbolized democracy thriving in Nigeria, contradicting the sentiments of some opposition politicians. He explained that Utomi's declaration did not halt Tinubu's ability to conduct business in Anambra or disrupt the lives of citizens.

Morka also highlighted that the APC has a democratic right to counter unsubstantiated criticism from opposition parties and politicians. He expressed that the party's responses are not signs of fear but rather a demonstration of liberty and rights.

No Need for Silence: APC's Right to Respond

Morka emphasized that expecting the ruling party to remain silent in the face of unfounded criticism against the President and the APC is impractical in a democracy. He stressed that the APC must have the opportunity to refute false claims promoted by opposition parties and politicians. He further noted that every time the ruling party responds, it is not a sign of anxiety or an attempt to stifle opposition voices.

Demonstrating Democracy: Utomi's Shadow Government

According to Morka, Utomi's declaration of a shadow government serves as evidence of the strength of Nigerian democracy. He argued that the fact that Utomi made such a declaration, without facing significant pushback or obstruction, is a testament to the vitality and flourishing nature of Nigerian democracy.
