Secondus, others under threat – PDP

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday alleged that its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and other members of its National Working Committee (NWC) were under threat.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had commenced “total clampdown” on other PDP chieftains willing to contest presidency against President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections.

The image maker said the trend was not good for the nation’s democracy and called on Nigerians and the international community to take note.

“It is instructive to inform that our leaders, particularly, our National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, have been receiving threats since the PDP filed a petition to the United Nations and the Commonwealth of Nations, detailing documented threats to democracy by the APC and its Federal Government, abuse of human rights, mass killings, extra-judicial executions, persecution of opposition and unabated constitutional violations.

“This has become manifest in the plot to rope members of ‘nPDP’, especially those in the National Assembly, into gunrunning and murder charges just because they came out to voice their opposition to the APC government’s constitutional violations and executive brigandage in the running of our nation’s affairs.
