The National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, has called on the All
Progressives Congress and members of what he described as a cabal in the
Presidency, not to kill President Muhammadu Buhari with undue pressure.
Secondus made the call on Friday
while inaugurating 27 Presidential election campaign committees at the party’s
headquarters in Abuja.
He said that for selfish reasons,
those he called power grabbers were putting undue pressure on the President
even as he said there were enough indications that the President can no longer
cope.
According to Secondus, from what
Nigerians and the international community were witnessing around the President
lately, it was apparent that he is tired and incapable of continuing in his
role as Head-of-state
His words: “He (Buhari) is tired
and incapable but they would not let him. There is no way this President can
cope given what we are witnessing and added to that is the incompetence in
leadership that Nigerians have been seeing in the last three years.
“For selfish reasons, these power
grabbers are putting undue pressure on the President even as it’s evident that
he can no longer cope.”
The PDP chairman further warned
that Nigerians were not ready to take anything less than free, fair and
credible election.
He said, “Our fear is that the
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, lack the will and courage to ignore the
pressure from the APC to conduct free and transparent election. But he should
know that he would be held responsible for any fall out from a rigged election.”
The national chairman, while
congratulating the new Inspector general of Police, reiterated his earlier call
on him to clear the mess left behind by his predecessor and run the police
force professionally and responsibly.
Secondus stated that PDP would
continue to protest the status of Amina Zakari as a National Commissioner of
INEC.
“We called for her resignation
from the commission but instead they appointed her as the Chief collation
officer, we must continue to oppose her because we have evidence of what she
did in Ekiti and Osun states.”
The chairman also said that the
visit of the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to
United States would restore the image of the country.
