ADC: APC, Tinubu Undisturbed, Focused On Nation Building – Morka

The national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Felix Morka, has said the ruling party and President Bola Tinubu remain undisturbed and focused on using all available bricks to build a stronger, enduring and more prosperous nation for the present and future generations of Nigerians.

Morka, reacting to the opposition coalition’s formal adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform, said coalition members remain preoccupied with swimming in mud and throwing bricks while the APC is running its government in the nation’s interest.

The opposition leaders formally adopted ADC on Wednesday as the platform to wrestle power from the ruling APC in 2027.

At the event, Raph Nwosu, the then ADC national chairman, was handed over to former Senate President David Mark as interim national chairman, with former interior minister Rauf Aregbesola as the party’s national secretary.

However, the APC spokesman on Thursday said the event was, in reality, an unveiling of a coalition of hoaxers and self-obsessed merchants of vendetta, a roll call of Nigeria’s me-or-nothing politicians who equate their selfish interests with the interests of Nigerians.

According to Morka, the coalition is populated by persons who “cannot bear to be out of the corridors of power and patronage, who are desperate to grab power for themselves by guile and subterfuge, who lay claim to an immoral birthright to power, even while draped in odious record of betrayal of public trust, and rapacious public service.”

He said delivered by Mark, “the alleged National Chairman of ADC, was disgracefully vacant, without substance or purpose, nothing but stitches of untruths, diatribe, and regurgitated and baseless allegations against the APC-led administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“From beginning to end, Senator Mark said nothing about the purpose of the so-called coalition other than a loud declaration of desperation for power.  What value does the alliance bring to Nigerians? Why should any Nigerian be concerned about a coalition of a bunch of egotistical maniacs for whom power and patronage are the oxygen on which their lives depend?

“One would have expected that, after months of vacillating between the devil and the deep blue sea, in search of a host platform, Senator Mark and his co-travellers would take Nigerians seriously enough by telling them what their coalition would do differently regarding the administration’s bold economic and sectoral policy reforms.

“What key alternative policy approaches would the coalition implement, and with what prospects of success compared to the high value and transformative impact of the administration’s reform policies? What exactly is the philosophical or ideological leaning of the coalition or its new party, aside from desperation for power at all costs, by all means necessary and unnecessary?

“Senator Mark’s speech was loud in its silence to these questions because he and his coalition partners are disgracefully clueless, without a care or concern about Nigeria and Nigerians, only filled with a wolfish quest for power for their mendacious end.

“They must think Nigerians to be gullible and uncritical. Quite to the contrary, Nigerians are highly perceptive and discerning and will not be taken in by the coalition’s grand folly,” Morka added.
