The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC said the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is crossing the line with his accusations in the recent times.

But, Morka described the accusations of the the Labour Party presidential candidate as ridiculous.

He said, “Peter Obi is really crossing the line, the campaigns are over, he needs to relax and allow his lawyers handle his case at the tribunal, accusing the APC of attacking his personal life is ridiculous.

“Obi has been way too sanctimonious for someone who volunteered to venture into politics and run for the presidency.
