Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has emphasized the distinction between the current situation involving their National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and the events leading to the removal of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) from the party.
Speaking on Arise TV, Morka clarified that while Oshiomhole’s removal was orchestrated by recognized party officials, Ganduje’s suspension is being pushed by individuals not formally affiliated with the party.
He stated, “No, it is not familiar if you understand the facts of what happened to Oshiomhole. They are incomparable. They are two different things altogether. In the case of Oshiomhole when he was the national chairman, the individuals who were involved in that effort to suspend him and take all the actions within the party were officials of the party.

“In this particular case in Kano, we’re seeing people that we know are not officials of the party. The man who purportedly read the suspension was physically at the party secretary on Wednesday to say he did not participate nor authorize any lawyer to go to court to bring this action against the national chairman. So when the person that is fully disclosed by identity is the same individual saying he did not, then who the heck was the individual who went to court? That is the question.
“The difference here is that we have pure imposters announcing the suspension of our national chairman and they had gone to court to attempt to affirm that same illegal and criminal act. So I just want to make sure that that is clear that these individuals are not authorized and not acting foreign on behalf of the ward. They need to stop because when the dust settles; there will be consequences for this sort of behavior.”
Morka’s remarks underscore the party’s stance on the legitimacy of Ganduje’s leadership amid the current challenges.
