There’s No APC Crisis In Oyo State – Felix Morka

All Progressives Congress (APC)

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has dismissed concerns over reported tensions within the party in Oyo State. He recently had his say during an interview on Arise TV, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the current situation is nowhere close to a crisis or serious internal rift, and the developments mainly reflect routine political engagement among party members.

Morka added that disagreements are inevitable in a party of APC’s size, especially when several aspirants are hustling for positions.

His words, “It’s not about crisis. It’s about people doing what they are supposed to do, which is take interest and assert themselves to those who are interested in running for offices.

That’s what’s going on. It’s nothing to worry about; it’s normal banter at this point, nothing official yet.

We are the largest party in this country, and maybe on the continent.

When you gather so many people together to pass through a narrow process of selection for those who govern the party, you are almost necessarily bound to have disagreements and competition.

No, we don’t ‘collect’. We publish information, guidelines, and rules that govern [the process], and we put an account number as we are required to do.

Every individual who pays money chooses to pay. When they pay that money, they are presumed to already be fully aware and conscious of all the rules that apply.

But once they pay, these are party men that we respect. If there are issues that concern them, they are able to come to the party and have conversations. Whether it’s about refunding the money or something else, those are possibilities.

Nigerians should expect a strong statement by the All Progressives Congress — really consolidating its structures as a political party and enacting its vision going forward.”

WOW.
