The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, has dismissed concerns over a growing coalition within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), insisting the ruling party has no reason to feel threatened.
Speaking on Sunday Politics, Morka described key figures in the alliance as politically ineffective despite their past prominence.
He singled out Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, arguing that their previous roles do not translate into present influence.
According to him, while the individuals may appear formidable on their own, they fail to make a meaningful impact as a group, likening them to “twinkle, twinkle, little stars.”
“But all of them put together, individually they look like they are superstars, but when they come together, they are ‘twinkle, twinkle, little stars’. They are making no impact whatsoever,” he said.
He maintained that the APC’s electoral track record since 2023 leaves it with nothing to fear from what he described as a weak opposition bloc.

Morka also rejected allegations that the APC is interfering in the internal affairs of the ADC, challenging the party to provide evidence to support its claims.
“ADC makes this allegation about APC’s interference, what exactly? ADC should furnish Nigerians with evidence of APC’s complicity in their predicament,” he stated.
He instead attributed the ADC’s internal crisis to self-inflicted errors, suggesting the party may be undermining itself through a series of “inexcusable blunders”.
“I’m beginning to think, quite frankly, based on the type of really inexcusable blunders that the ADC has committed, that this is all orchestrated, that the ADC is self-sabotaging,” he said.
Extending his criticism, he accused opposition figures, including Peter Obi, of instability, alleging they frequently switch parties, create internal crises, and then blame the ruling party.
“These are people who clearly failed to manage the affairs of the parties where they came from… they use a revolving door to move to the next party, create more chaos, and blame the ruling party,” he added.
His remarks come amid a deepening leadership crisis within the ADC following a decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw recognition of a faction led by former Senate President David Mark.
