The National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has called
for an international inquest into the senseless and mindless killings across
Nigeria.
Prince
Secondus said that the call had become imperative following the cold response
of the government to the heinous crime and some attempts by agents of the
government to divert attention of the public away from the issue.
Speaking
while receiving one of the Presidential aspirants in the party, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki
at the Wadata House National Secretariat of the party on Monday, Prince
Secondus called on the international community to show interest and help halt
the bloodletting in the country.
According to
a statement from the National Chairman’s media office signed by Ike Abonyi,
Prince Secondus said that intelligence available to the party showed that the
All Progressives Congress, APC was planning to rig the July 14 gubernatorial
election in Ekiti state but warned that it would amount to putting fire in the
land.
“Thwart the
will of Ekiti people and put unquenchable fire in the country.
“Let me warn
the INEC Chairman Prof Yakubu and Amina Zakari the National Commissioner in
charge of operations in the electoral commission to be careful with any agenda
they have that is against the will of the people of Ekiti,” he said.
He told the
aspirant that the PDP as a platform was rebranded, repositioned and ready to
regain power and rescue Nigeria from the terrible governance of the APC.
Prince
Secondus noted that because the APC administration has nothing really to offer
they have resorted to brute force, intimidation and harassment of opponents.
“They are
harassing, arresting and framing up people but they cannot arrest and kill
everybody. We are ready for them.
“Whether
they like it or not, PDP will win Ekiti come July 14, because we are on ground
and have something to show, we will also go ahead to win Osun state in
September and the general elections in February 2019,” he added.
