Rig Feb. 16 election, endorse crisis for Nigeria – Secondus fumes

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has declared that the only recipe to avoiding crisis in Nigeria after February presidential election is to desist from any act of rigging.

Prince Secondus noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mamood Yakubu  should be warned and avoid any sort of plans to rig the coming election if peace is to reign in the country.

The PDP National Chairman media office issued a statement from the rally reiterated his earlier warning to the Chairman of INEC, Prof Mahmood Yakubu that this election must not be rigged if they are to avert crisis in the country.

The National Chairman said that intelligence available to the party shows that the APC and the government have concluded plans to arrest and obstruct the movement of PDP leaders as part of the grand design to clear the way for their rigging strategy.

He mentioned some states like Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Rivers where special security squad has been dispatched to help the APC implement their illicit electoral fraud.

“Let me warn, Nigeria will not accept a rigged result and rigging by any means is a recipe for crisis in the country, therefore Prof Yakubu better be warned,” he said.

Secondus told Lagosians that a vote for PDP on February 16 and on March, 2, will mark the restoration of their freedom from the Emperor that has held them down since 1999.

He assured that an Atiku Abubakar presidency would mean restoration of Lagos lost glory as with him industries would be reactivated and more jobs created.

“Atiku Abubakar would be in charge of his Presidency, he would be Commander in Chief, he will not allow college of Presidents because he has the capacity and has been tested in public and private sector,” he added.
