The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a strong rebuttal to Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who claimed that the PDP is no longer a functioning political party. The PDP characterized Morka's statements as unfortunate and a product of delusional propaganda from the ruling party. This response underscores the ongoing political tensions in Nigeria as the PDP seeks to assert its relevance amidst criticisms from the government.

In a statement released by the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, the party emphasized that despite the rumors of defections instigated by the APC, many Nigerians remain disillusioned with the current administration led by Bola Tinubu. The PDP argued that such defections should not be misinterpreted as a validation of the APC's governance but rather as evidence of discontent among the populace with the hardships stemming from the ruling party's policies.

Morka had previously suggested that internal crises within the PDP have rendered it ineffective, while also claiming that the migrations of politicians to the APC signify a growing endorsement of their party. The PDP's counter-argument highlights their perspective that the APC's tactics are more about distracting from their governance failures than reflecting actual political dynamics, signaling a fierce competition as the parties aim to redefine their narratives in the evolving political landscape of Nigeria.
