The National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has restated that nothing,
not even the blackmail and intimidation allegedly lined up against him and the
opposition by the All Progressives Congress, APC, would be enough to stop him
from carrying out the reform in his party.
The President Buhari administration,
through the office of the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed,
had released lists of alleged looters of the nation’s treasury with Secondus
name in it.
But Secondus in a statement made available by his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi on Wednesday said
such would not deter him.
The PDP chairman said the APC was
desperate to frame him up with some blatant fabrications ostensibly to distract
him from carrying out his responsibility of rebuilding his party.
Secondus said he ordinarily would
not want to join issues with the government on a matter already in court but
noted regrettably that the administration has great contempt for the court and
the rule of law and has instead chosen to use blackmail and media persecution to
defame and discredit their enemies.
He added, “There’s no need to be
talking about a case pending in court in the newspapers. If the government has
anything to say, they should file it before the court as demanded.”
”The statement said that the
National Chairman’s office is aware of a grand design by the government to stop
at anything to tarnish his image. But he said that the move would fail.
He challenged the government to
come out with the vouchers with which he was said to have signed, adding that such
signature would also be subjected to forensic analysis.
“I never collected any money from
anywhere. I didn’t ask anyone to collect money for me as well and I didn’t sign
any voucher to collect any money.
“It is pure blackmail which will
never work.
“If they are cooking up anything,
with the aim of blackmailing me, it will fail. I know that the task of
uprooting this non-performing government would be horrendous. But God is always
on the side of the people.”
“I can understand the frustration
of a party that enjoyed enormous goodwill from Nigerians three years ago but
got it squandered with its ‘nepotic’ and insensitive administration”
“No amount of cheap blackmail and
treachery will return the APC from the exit gate where Nigerians already pushed
them to, awaiting 2019″
“The departure date for the APC
has already been announced and the flight schedule would not be cancelled,
because Nigerians cannot wait to see them off.”
