National chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus has warned the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Idris
Ibrahim, to desist from plunging the nation into unnecessary chaos by
attempting to subvert the mandate of the people in the forthcoming general
elections.
Secondus who expressed optimism
that his party would win the Presidential poll of February 16 added that the
reason President Mohammadu Buhari has failed to fulfil his promises of job
creation, fighting insecurity and surmounting the challenge of corruption is because
he is too weak to rule a country as complex as Nigeria.
He,therefore, urged the people of
Ekiti and Nigerians as a whole to vote PDP presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, saying: “Do you know why the economy has collapsed?, Do you know why
hunger is in the land? Your President, Buhari is a sleeping President, he has
no energy that is why the economy has collapsed, we are coming with Atiku who
has energy and can work 24 hours a ,day not the one that would work for three
years. This government of APC wants to rig election but we want to tell you
that they cannot rig the coming elections because the world will focus on
Nigeria. So we are going to win this election, look at Atiku, he is tested and
trusted in public and private sectors. He is a man that can turn the economy
around. And he has the energy for the job.
“INEC, all your plan to rig the
election will fail. If you attempt to rig the polls, you will be throwing the
country into chaos. IGP, you aren’t the first IGP of this nation, don’t plunge
the nation into chaos. It is going to be one man one vote, free and fair
election,” he said.
Also speaking, Atiku who assured
Ekiti people that he would not abandon them like the ruling party has allegedly
done, said: “The good people of Ekiti state, APC has stolen all your jobs, now
they want to steal your votes, they did it in Ekiti and Osun, Ogun, Bauchi,
they even stole in Kastina where they come from, I don’t know why they have to
steal in their home. This state has always been a PDP. When we paid a courtesy
call to Ewi of Ado, he said he wants us to build the roads , we will complete
all federal projects not completed, we will restore standard and quality
education, so we can give you jobs, APC don’t know how to create jobs and don’t
know how to give you, 40 per cent of our portfolios will go to youths while 30
per cent will go to women and that is 70 for youths and women. We know how to
do it and we have done it before, we will do it again,” he assured.
The Senate President, Bukola
Saraki who was welcomed into the hugely crowded campaign venue with deafening
applause, also urged the people, particularly the youths to vote Atiku because:
” He will give you jobs as he has given millions through his private business.”
He continued: “There is no story,
youths you are the future we need, a leader has to make good his promises but
Buhari promised you jobs, security and to fight corruption, has he fulfilled
his promises, No! to do all these you must know how to do it. Atiku is a man
who knows how to create jobs, secure the country and also fight corruption.”
Promising his party the Ekiti
peoples’ votes, immediate past governor of the state, Ayo Fayose , said: “In
Ekiti we will deliver, he that the gods will destroy, he will first make to run
mad, that is the case of the current Federal Government, but PDP will deliver
Nigeria from their poverty and misrule,” he said.
