Chief Joel Okudi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that Mr Felix Morka who is vying for the position of National Publicity Secretary in the party's ongoing national convention is an ex- convict.

He said this while speaking with newsmen on Saturday in Abuja, saying that Morka was convicted  in the United States of America.

"It is true that he is a member of the ruling party like other well meaning Nigerians who wants the betterment of the country. 

"Just as Nigerians believe that APC is fighting corruption, the likes of Morka who have in three times gone to jail in the United States of America are not suppose to be voted for in any elections," he said.

He added that Morka was not suppose to be part of APC's executives.

This, he said was especially because Nigerians believe the party was fighting corruption.

He therefore asked that Morka be withdrawn from the race.

"I am using this opportunity to inform the national ruling party to withdraw him from the race because he is presently facing a corruption case in one of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

"The Court has served him notice and we all believe that the court would soon entertain the case. 

"So allowing him to be the mouth piece of the ruling party would amount to not fighting corruption," he said.
