Morka Critiques Kwankwaso's Call for Atiku to Withdraw
On September 12, 2026, Felix Morka, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC), responded critically to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Kwankwaso had called for Atiku Abubakar to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, suggesting that Atiku's age and health warranted his stepping aside to support the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket.
Morka, in a post on X, accused the opposition of engaging in "horse trading" over a presidency they have yet to win, asserting that the Nigerian electorate would ultimately decide the election's outcome. He characterized the opposition as hypocritical, claiming they appear virtuous while being corrupt.
Morka emphasized that the opposition would not achieve victory in the upcoming election, reinforcing that the decision lies with the voters. Atiku Abubakar, who will turn 81 next year, has indicated that the 2027 election will be his final attempt at the presidency.
