Secondus

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has urged Nigerians and international community to rise and defend democracy being threatened by the actions of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He cited the deployment of detachment of police and the Department of State Security (DSS) who were on siege at the residences of Senate President Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, Tuesday morning.

According to the PDP National Chairman in a statement, “It is now a known fact that democracy has now collapsed in Nigeria and we are now under a totalitarian and fascist government with no appetite for the opposition.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is a beneficiary of democratic election into power and since he took over on May 29th 2015 he has done nothing but destroy every fabric of democracy and the rule of law.

“We hereby call on all Nigerians home and abroad to immediately speak up against this act of gross violation of the constitution of Nigerian and the attempt disruption of the Democratic process and institutions by President Muhammadu Buhari and privatized members of the Nigerian security agencies.

“We call on all traditional rulers in Nigeria, the international community and all well-meaning Nigerians to rise up against the antics of President Muhammadu Buhari to forestall a possible derailment of our democracy. The time to act is now.”
