PDP
national chairman Uche Secondus, has accused the federal government of
injecting crisis in states controlled by the PDP and forcing governors
on the party’s platform to a deal ahead of the 2019 polls.
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince
Uche Secondus alerts the nation that the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, and the Nigeria Police leadership have entered into a
secret path with the All Progressives Congress, APC, to cripple PDP
controlled states and ensure they lose focus on the in-coming elections.
Prince Secondus said that the move which is aimed at causing severe
and disabling damage to these states is part of the grand design to
distract the PDP from its focused journey to reclaim power and rescue
this country from the inept rule of the APC.
According to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office
signed by Ike Abonyi, the opposition party said its privy to a credible
intelligence showing that the ruling party has mapped out a strategy to
ensure that PDP controlled states are adequately inconvenienced and
frustrated enough not to have concentration to tackle their re
-election.
Prince Secondus singled out Bayelsa state that had eight Police
Commissioners in three years as well as Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi States
where the Police leadership in the states have been changed at randomly
at the dictates of APC government.
In Akwa Ibom state Assembly crisis engineered by the APC, the
Police clearly became an interested party playing a bias role to ensure
it danced the music of the APC.
“In most PDP states despite the governors being the statutory
chief security officers, Police Commissioners have set up parallel
structures to undermine the security of the states just to satisfy their
pay masters
“They have resolved to inject crisis in PDP controlled states
and ensure that our Governors who are refusing to play ball are
permanently distracted for their re elections.
“They have deployed huge cash in these states to either use
labour or state legislators to inject crisis, frighten the governors and
force them to do a deal with them.”
The National Chairman disclosed that the anti graft agencies
particularly the EFCC and the Police have been co-opted into this
nefarious project to make it look as if it’s anti corruption program.
“Nigerians should ask the EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu who is
busy campaigning for President Muhammedu Buhari and wearing his campaign
badge why only PDP governors are on their radar.
“Nigerians should ask EFCC why they are looking away on what
happened in Kano that everybody watched, if Governor Ibrahim Ganduje had
been a PDP would EFCC have kept mum?
“Nigerians should find out why is it that only PDP Finance
Commissioners are visitors to EFCC while their APC counterparts where
corruption is obvious are glorified.
“Only PDP governors are performing and carrying out people
oriented projects across the country as can be witnessed by all but they
are the only one being harassed by Magu and his team.
“We are aware on good authority that Magu has vowed to make the
re- election of President Buhari his personal project even if Nigerians
appear to have turned their back on them.”
Prince Secondus accused the APC of not seeking to derive their
mandate from the populace but more engaged in devious acts to achieve
result.
“What APC is engaged in is a skillful use of underhand tactics
to win election at all cost because they cannot face Nigerians for
another mandate.
“That is why they are not campaigning or seeking votes from
Nigerians, that is why President Buhari has refused to sign into law an
amended Electoral Act that would have guaranteed this nation a freer and
fair election.
“Nothing clearly underscores the fact that the APC is not
interested in having a transparent election than the refusal of the
President to sign the Electoral Act into law.”
Prince Secondus however warns the Police and the EFCC leadership
that the PDP and the Nigeria people will use every available means
guaranteed by law to resist any attempt to thwart their will.
