The acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Prince Uche Secondus has said that Nigeria is dangerously sliding and
wants the All Progressives Congress (APC) federal Government to
genuinely engage Nigerians to achieve peace that brings development.
He said at the thanksgiving and reception of Rivers State Governor
Nyesom Wike in PortHarcourt, Rivers state capital on Sunday that the
ruling APC should address series of disturbing challenges in the land
and stop abusing Nigeria Judiciary because it did not go their way way.
Prince Secondus, who led other members of the National Working
Committee (NWC) of the party to the ceremony, told the audience of top
PDP leaders, including state governors and members of the National
Assembly that Nigeria is sliding economically and politically with APC
showing it has no solution in sight.
He noted that when APC took over power from the PDP seven months ago,
the naira was exchanging for N160 to one dollar but noted that
currently, the naira has suddenly dipped to 300 for a dollar under the
APC government.
The PDP leader charged the APC to face reality and engage the various
stakeholders, including business and political leaders to find a way
out instead grandstanding that all is well.
Prince Secondus also described as dangerous to the polity, the
continued abuse of judiciary and the use of military and other security
agencies in purely political matters.
The PDP boss said that it has become vivid to all political watchers
that PDP, even in opposition remains the largest party in Africa as
indications has become very clear that APC is not a political party. He
added that not even the harassment and persecution of its leaders would
stop the party from providing a robust and constructive opposition.
The governor had been implicated by Dr Temitope Aluko, a former scribe
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alongside Nigeria’s ex-president,
Dr Goodluck Jonathan, with rigging the last governorship election in the
state.
