The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has accused 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi of libel and inciting his followers to issue death threats against APC spokesman Felix Morka.
Ganduje alleged that Obi lied by claiming that Morka threatened him and his family in a recent interview.
According to Ganduje, Obi’s claims were “sheer mischief and outright falsehood,” which would have been ignored if not for the need to refute such a baseless narrative.
He emphasized that, as a public figure, Obi had a responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information, adding that spreading falsehood undermines public trust.

Ganduje pointed out that Morka was simply carrying out his duties as the National Publicity Secretary of the party, holding opposition actors accountable for their statements, as is expected in a democratic setting.
“By falsely claiming that Morka threatened his life, Mr. Obi has libeled Morka in the extreme and incited his online supporters to issue death threats against Morka and his family,” Ganduje said.
He called on Obi to refrain from misinformation and accept criticism as part of the democratic process.
