The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been denounced by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for their “mindless and unpatriotic” responses to US President Donald Trump’s recent military threat against Nigeria.

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, made this claim on Wednesday in an interview with Prime Time on Arise Television.

Additionally, Morka called opposing parties’ attempts to politicize the matter “irresponsible and despicable.”

He emphasized that any action or remark about Nigeria made by the US administration, under Trump’s leadership, must be supported by factual data. He cautioned that decisions made based on misleading narratives can have serious repercussions for all of West Africa.

Morka emphasized that cooperation between the two countries was the best way to fight terrorism, pointing out that any military action against Nigeria could cause instability in neighboring countries.

He said: “But you see, whatever it is the United States government of which President Trump is leader has a responsibility to ensure that he gets the facts straight and right on this matter, because any decision or action that is predicated on false argument, or false narratives, what I call some conjured narratives about Nigeria, will not affect Nigeria alone. It will affect every other country within this region.

“Our borders are open if anything goes on in Nigeria, when Nigerians feel threatened by any kind of military action from the United States, look, all of the neighboring countries will be implicated in this specter of reaction and counter reaction.

“So I think that this is needless. We can tackle this problem more efficiently if the United States Government will partner with Nigeria to bring any support or assistance that they can muster to the theater to defeat terror that I know the United States stands vehemently opposed to.

“I think that beyond those who are manipulating the situation, for instance, look at the Nigerian opposition, why would ADC and the PDP, be issuing statements that are so mindlessly, unpatriotic. It’s wrong. I think there’s a time for national reckoning. There’s a time for politics. This is not a time for self serving.

“Senseless political noise making that is coming out of the opposition, the a country, a foreign country, is issuing a threat to conduct military action against our country, to probably even send boots on the ground, on the soil of the sovereign Nigeria and the political party thinks this is the moment to make a political capital. That is utterly irresponsible and despicable.”
