‘It’s APC curse’ – Sam Amadi reacts to alleged threat on Peter Obi

Sam Amadi, the director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has dismissed the notion that Felix Morka, the national publicity secretary for the All Progressives Congress (APC), is planning a malicious conspiracy against Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Amadi attributed his comment against Obi to what he dubbed the APC curse.

After criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration in his New Year’s greeting, Obi had claimed that he had received a threat to his life.

Following claimed threats against his life, family, and acquaintances, the former governor of Anambra State questioned whether he had “really crossed the line” in a post on his X handle yesterday.

His accusation came after a statement attributed to Morka, who stated, “Peter Obi has crossed the line so many times and he has what’s coming to him, and whatever he gets, he should manage it,” in an interview with Arise TV on Sunday.

In response, Amadi wrote on X: “I consider @Morka2Felix to be intelligent and reasonable. We were classmates in graduate school. He is polished. I’m not sure how they moved on from him. The @OfficialAPCNg curse is something I’ve heard of.

Perhaps. However, I don’t see him hatching a malicious scheme against @PeterObi in exchange for constructive critique. Felix is not like that.

In the meantime, the Obidient Movement said in a statement signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko that Morka’s comment directly threatened Obi’s life as well as the stability of the Nigerian government.

The comment, according to the Obidient Movement, is a frightening indication of the nation’s slide toward dictatorship under the Tinubu administration, in addition to being an attack on the outspoken 2023 LP presidential contender.
