The APC's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described Obi as a “political rolling stone.”
Morka accused Obi of moving between parties in search of an easy 2027 presidential ticket.
He stated this in a post shared on his X page on Sunday, May 3, 2026, while criticising Obi’s latest political move.
According to Morka, the former Anambra state governor is never willing to remain to build any political party.
"Peter Obi, a political rolling stone that gathers no moss ... roaming again in search of a free, uncontested, unchallenged presidential ticket … never willing to remain to build any party … fantasizes to be president on a ticket delivered only a platter of gold … APGA - PDP - LP - ADC on to NDC … fare thee well, Nigeria’s inconsolable political DRIFTER.”
Nigerians react as APC slams Peter Obi
@Archkels
"If you’re not chasing him around? He would’ve stayed in one place, but since you created a job for yourself, get busy. We will keep following him. Moreover, there’s urgency in rescuing the mess the APC put us into; there's no time for building anything. We’ll rent now and build later."

"You all wanted to use Peter Obi's glory to shine on devilish people. But God pass una."

"Raising your voice and using unnecessarily complex vocabulary does not strengthen the logic of your argument. Your drug lord supporters seem to be having dementia. So, if we examine the INEC archives, the record will show that APC is the only party with a BAT record. Mad people!!"
