| Prince Uche Secondus |
Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, has asserted that the 2027 elections may never occur due to the All Progressives Congress (APC) allegedly "murdering and burying democracy" in Nigeria.
Following what he termed a fraudulent gubernatorial election in Edo State, Secondus criticized the APC for disregarding electoral laws and manipulating the electoral process.
He warned that the ongoing erosion of democratic principles could lead to a one-party state, undermining the essence of democracy in Nigeria.
From the results of all the off-circle elections conducted in Imo, Kogi, and Edo states, Prof Mahmoud Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not showing any remorse for the show of shame they conducted in 2023 that threw Nigeria under the bus, Secondus said
He added that with the shameless boast of the APC National chairman Abdullahi Ganduje that they will apply the Edo template in other forthcoming off-cycle elections in Ondo and Anambra states, it’s very obvious that 2027 will not even come as the ruling party’s agenda is to create a one-party state by muzzling the opposition.
He said:“The beauty of democracy is the opposing voices that help to check the ruling party but APC is set to ground Nigeria with their misrule yet won’t tolerate variant views.
“Nigeria's democracy is sitting on a keg of gunpowder because of rigging. If the Edo election stands, it will be difficult to carry on elections in Nigeria, going forward.”
Furthermore, Secondus, in a press release signed by his media adviser, I ke Abonyi, maintained that the election manipulation in Edo state was brazen and it started by harassing and arresting leaders of the opposition and compromising strategic players like the security agencies and electoral officials.
The World is watching the shame we bring to this beautiful form of government that other nations apply to stabilize and develop their countries.
