It seems like APC made one of the best choices this year by electing a National Publicity Secretary on the basis of equity, unquestionable personal integrity, compelling academic credentials, undoubted experiential competence and absolute loyalty to progressivism.
The cap overly fits the erudite Ika-born, Harvard-trained lawyer, scholar and human rights advocate, Felix Morka.
This is a glimpse into the rich profile of the man Morka:
- University of Jos, (LL.B. Hons.);
- Nigerian Law School, Lagos (B.L.);
- Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. U.S.A. (LL.M.);
- First Martin Ennals Fellow – European Human Rights Foundation Brussels, Belgium;
- Reginald Lewis Fellow – Harvard Human Rights Program
- Chairman, United Nations Expert Committee on Development-Based Displacements, Geneva, Switzerland (Drafted the International Comprehensive Human Rights Guidelines on Development-Based Displacements);
- Member, Project Steering Committee, Lagos Metropolitan Development and Governance Project (A $200 Million World Bank-Funded Project);
- Member, Global Reference Group on HIV/AIDS & Human Rights, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV & AIDS (UNAIDS); and
- Chairman, The Body Shop International Human Rights Award Jury.
No doubt, Morka is a great Deltan. Every Delta born should be proud of his pedigree.
Morka represents the quintessential Delta spirit that must be projected to the world.
Finally, at the partisan level, it is greatly pleasing that the APC have put forward a man who will promote the party, APC, excellently. An advocate who will communicate strategically, sensibly and aggressively to deny PDP spaces for shenanigans with well-researched and compelling fact.
Congratulations Barr Felix Morka.
