Secondus: Under this dictatorship, there may not be elections in 2023

Uche Secondus, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), says Nigeria has slipped into “full blown dictatorship”
under the current administration.

Speaking at the PDP expanded national caucus meeting in Abuja on
Monday, Secondus accused the President Muhammdu Buhari
administration of winning reelection “with the use of military
force”.

He said “with the way things are”, new leaders may only be
announced in 2023 without any election taking place.

He insisted that the PDP was “rigged out” of the presidential
election, adding that the party had finalised plans to challenge
the outcome in court.

“Never has it happened in the history of our country that INEC
will be so compromised,” the PDP chairman said.

“What happened on the 23rd has never happened since
independence. All Nigerians are aware and the leaders are not
talking. If you don’t talk against evil, one day evil will pursue
everyone.

“With things like this, in 2023 there may not be an election, it
will be an announcement. It may be to put the figures together and
announce.

“Our supporters and leaders are being arrested and the leaders
of our country and peace committee are keeping quiet. What we have
now is a full blown dictatorship.”

Secondus said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is
“celebrating criminality” in the name of victory.

“They are celebrating rigging and manipulation and criminality
and it will consume them one day,” he said.

“INEC chairman you may think all Is well, President Buhari you
may also think all is well. People are clapping hands but history
is being recorded. History will judge you.”
