‘You Said Nothing About Purpose Other Than Desperation For Power’ – APC Blasts Mark, Other Coalition Members

Felix Morka

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has asserted that former Senate President, David Mark, and other coalition members are desperate to grab power for themselves through deception.

Naijaonpoint reports that the opposition coalition on Wednesday adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform to wrest power from the APC in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

The new opposition coalition party also appointed Mark as its interim National Chairman, with former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, as interim National Secretary.

Reacting to the unveiling, APC, in a statement by the party’s spokesman, Felix Morka, on Thursday, said the speech delivered by David Mark was disgracefully vacant and without substance or purpose.

Morka stressed that Mark’s speech was nothing but stitches of untruths and baseless allegations against the APC-led administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He further called the unveiling of the coalition a roll call of Nigeria’s me-or-nothing politicians, who equate their selfish interest with the interest of Nigerians, and who cannot bear to be out of the corridors of power and patronage.

According to Morka, the newly formed opposition coalition party is a hoax and a self-obsessed group of vendetta merchants, desperate to grab power at all costs.

The statement added, “From beginning to end, Senator Mark said nothing about the purpose of the so-called coalition other than a loud declaration of desperation for power. What value does the coalition bring to Nigerians? Why should any Nigerian be concerned about a coalition of a bunch of egotistical maniacs for whom power and patronage are the oxygen on which their lives depend?

“One would have expected that, after months of vacillating between the devil and the deep blue sea, in search of a host platform, Senator Mark and his co-travelers would take Nigerians seriously enough by telling them what their coalition would do differently regarding the administration’s bold economic and sectoral policy reforms.

“What key alternative policy approaches would the coalition implement, and with what prospects of success compared to the high value and transformative impact of the administration’s reform policies?

“What exactly is the philosophical or ideological leaning of the coalition or its new party, aside from desperation for power at all cost, by all means necessary and unnecessary?

“Senator Mark’s speech was loud in its silence to these questions because himself and his coalition partners are disgracefully clueless, without a care or concern about Nigeria and Nigerians, only filled with wolfish quest for power for their own mendacious end.”
