The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka, has criticised former presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the wake of his resignation from the African Democratic Congress.
Reacting via a post on X on Sunday, Morka accused Obi of frequently shifting political platforms in what he suggested is a bid to secure an easier route to the presidency. He portrayed the former Anambra State governor as unwilling to remain within a party long enough to build it.
“Peter Obi, a political rolling stone that gathers no moss… roaming again in search of free, uncontested, unchallenged presidential ticket… never willing to remain to build any party,” he wrote.
Morka also claimed that Obi avoids internal party contests, preferring arrangements that would hand him a presidential ticket without opposition.
“He fantasises to be president on a ticket delivered only on a platter of gold… APGA – PDP – LP – ADC on to NDC,” Morka added.
He ended his remarks with a sharp rebuke of Obi’s political journey.
“Fare thee well, Nigeria’s inconsolable political drifter,” he said.

Obi had earlier disclosed his decision to leave the ADC, pointing to persistent internal crises and what he described as a toxic political atmosphere within the party.
In a statement released on Sunday, he said the move came after careful consideration of the party’s ongoing disputes and divisions, which he noted had diverted attention from addressing key national concerns.
He clarified that his departure was not driven by personal conflicts with leading figures in the party, including former Senate President David Mark and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, both of whom he said he continues to respect.
Obi further stressed that he is not desperate to hold political office, noting that his focus remains on improving the welfare of Nigerians and fostering a more effective society.
Despite stepping away from the party, he reaffirmed his confidence that Nigeria can still achieve competent and compassionate leadership, expressing optimism that a better future for the country is attainable.
