Published

on

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, of undermining democracy with his actions. Morka made these remarks during an interview on Eagle 102.5 FM while responding to the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Morka emphasized that those commenting on the issue were politically biased, asserting that Fubara had been making undemocratic decisions since he assumed office. He pointed out that Fubara had attempted to replace the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly shortly after his election. When the attempt failed, Fubara allegedly demolished the Assembly complex, effectively halting legislative activities. Despite these actions, Morka claimed that opposition voices, including Peter Obi, remained silent.

In defense of the state of emergency, Morka stated that President Tinubu acted within the provisions of Section 305 of the Nigerian Constitution, which permits the President to declare a state of emergency in cases of national security threats. He noted that intelligence reports indicated growing security risks in Rivers, including threats to critical oil infrastructure, particularly after the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP) was reportedly vandalized.

Morka also clarified that the declaration was not a unilateral decision, as it was ratified by a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, which is a multi-partisan body. He emphasized that representatives from various political parties came together to approve the declaration after reviewing all available information.

The National Chairman of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has asserted that the party is exceptionally fortunate to feature former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, as its presidential candidate for the upcoming 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A Strong Endorsement for Donald Duke

  • Surpassing Competitors: Speaking during an interview, Baba-Ahmed confidently stated that, candidate for candidate, Donald Duke outperforms all other presidential contenders currently in the political space.

  • Integrity and Capability: He described Duke as part of a visionary leadership blueprint aimed at thinking critically, restoring national dignity, exhibiting true integrity, and offering young Nigerians a leadership style they can genuinely look up to.

The Strategic Push for an Opposition Coalition

Despite possessing what he considers the superior candidate, Baba-Ahmed explained why the party is actively championing a broader political alliance:

  • Consensus Over Ego: The PRP chairman emphasized that the party’s push for a mega-coalition is driven by consensus and constitutional processes rather than forcing Duke’s candidacy through on profile strength alone.

  • Defeating Fault Lines: Framing the 2027 election as a critical turning point for the nation, Baba-Ahmed noted that the stakes go far beyond individual party ambitions. The coalition aims to unite likeminded opposition forces to rescue Nigeria from its current trajectory and bridge its deep fault lines.
