The Peoples Democratic Party PDP has strongly fired back at the All Progressives Congress APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka describing his assertion that the opposition is dead or no longer a functional political party as delusional propaganda detached from reality. This sharp response follows Morkas recent comments on national television where he attributed the ongoing wave of defections from the PDP to the ruling APC to the oppositions internal crises inability to offer a credible platform and overall collapse as a viable political force.

In a pointed rebuttal the PDP dismissed Morkas claims as wishful thinking and an attempt to mask the ruling partys growing unpopularity amid widespread economic hardship soaring inflation unemployment and public discontent with governance failures. Party spokespersons emphasized that defections often stem from personal interests coercion or promises of appointments rather than genuine endorsement of the APCs performance highlighting that Nigerians continue to suffer under policies that have exacerbated poverty and insecurity.

The PDP further accused the APC of engaging in propaganda to project strength while the ruling party grapples with its own internal fractures factionalism and declining public support ahead of future elections. They argued that labeling the opposition as dead ignores the resilience of democratic forces the PDPs historical role as Nigerias main opposition platform and the persistent calls from citizens for accountability and better leadership. Amid these exchanges political analysts note that the heated rhetoric reflects deepening polarization in Nigerias political landscape with both parties leveraging defections and public statements to shape narratives as the country faces mounting socioeconomic challenges.

This latest verbal clash underscores the intense rivalry between Nigerias two dominant parties with the PDP vowing to regroup reorganize and remain a formidable check on the APCs dominance despite recent setbacks.
