The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche
Secondus has reiterated that there will be no escape route for election
riggers in 2019 as he warns the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to conduct free and fair election and avert crisis.
Speaking at the Ilorin metropolitan mini-sports stadium on Wednesday
at a rally to kick off the PDP North Central Presidential rally in Kwara
state, Secondus said that his party would not accept the outcome of a
rigged election.
The PDP National Chairman told the crowd drawn from the six states of
Kwara, Niger, Nasarawa, Benue, Kogi and Plateau that make up the zone
that the party has chosen a rescuer in the person of the former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar and his Vice Peter Obi.
According to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office
signed by ike Abonyi, Secondus said that the All Progressives Congress,
APC leaders are afraid of the PDP flag beaeers because of the
credibility and rich record of performance they possess.
Secondus noted that APC leaders have exhausted their lies and have
come to the end of the road since the people cannot be fooled all of the
time.
“Atiku Abubakar is a man set out by providence to rescue this country from the APC mess and we must give him our votes.
“He is the man destined to make Nigeria work again and he would end hunger and unite Nigerians once again,” he said.
Secondus, who called for a minute silence in honour of persons killed
by herdsmen in the North Central zone, remarked that Atiku is the man
who will end killings in the country.
The National Chairman also delivered some words of warning to the
Police and other security operatives who might want to connive with INEC
and the All Progressives Congress, APC, to thwart the will of the
people, that they would be stoutly resisted since the voters are
determined to act as electoral soldiers to guard and protect their
votes.
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who is also the Director General
of the Presidential Campaign of the party told the rally that Atiku is
the only person with the wherewithal to tackle the challenges facing the
country.
On his part the Presidential candidate, Atiku assured the people that
with their mandate he would drastically address the myriads of the
problems facing the country.
The highpoint of the rally which attracted top PDP leaders from the
North Central zone was the handing over of victory flags to the
Presidential candidate and PDP gubernatorial flag bearers in five states
of Benue, Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau and Kwara excluding Kogi whose
governorship election is due later in 2019.
The PDP zonal rally train heads to Ibadan, South West region on Thursday.
