Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has outperformed every democratically elected president in Nigeria. Morka made this assertion during an interview on Channels Television, where he defended the performance and economic policies of the Tinubu administration.

In his remarks, Morka emphasized that Tinubu's achievements in his first term stand out compared to those of his predecessors. He stated, "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has outperformed any president in his first term. He has outperformed any democratically elected president in this country in their terms."

When pressed for specific indicators to support his claims, Morka suggested that the evidence of Tinubu's performance is clear in the current economic landscape. He noted that the president took office amid significant economic challenges, which he attributed to the failures of past administrations, particularly criticizing the 16-year rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) prior to the APC's rise to power in 2015.

Morka described former President Muhammadu Buhari as a transitional leader, saying, "Buhari was a stopgap president that really came to keep the country from tipping over the precipice — from 16 years of horrific maladministration of the PDP government." He credited Buhari with stabilizing the country, allowing Tinubu to implement his economic reforms.

The APC spokesman further asserted that Tinubu's policies have significantly improved Nigeria's economic situation, stating that the country is moving away from severe economic difficulties. He claimed that the positive impact of these reforms is becoming apparent, even among critics of the administration, and that Nigeria has "come out of the woods" at the macroeconomic level due to the policies initiated by Tinubu's government.

Morka's comments reflect the APC's ongoing efforts to bolster the image of the Tinubu administration amidst various economic challenges facing the country. As the administration continues to navigate these issues, the claims made by Morka will likely be scrutinized by both supporters and opponents alike.
