The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka, has mocked key opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi and Rauf Aregbesola, describing them as “twinkle, twinkle, little stars” despite their individual political profiles.
Speaking on Sunday Politics, Morka downplayed the strength of the opposition coalition within the African Democratic Congress, insisting that the ruling party has no reason to feel threatened.
He said the political stature of the coalition’s leading figures does not translate into present-day influence. 
“Atiku Abubakar was a former vice president; Rotimi Amaechi was a former governor and minister; Rauf Aregbesola was a former governor; they have been everything else to be.
“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.
Morka also dismissed allegations by the ADC that the APC is interfering in its internal affairs, challenging the opposition to substantiate its claims.
“Why would we be afraid when we have consistently won elections since 2023? Fear a party that is a non-starter? Fear a party that is almost as good as non-existent? We have nothing to fear about the ADC.
“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.
The APC spokesperson attributed the ADC’s internal crisis to what he described as self-inflicted errors.
“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, Morka referenced Peter Obi, accusing opposition figures of instability across party lines.
“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.
