Buhari has embarked on unknown voyage — PDP – TheNigerialawyer

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche
Secondus, on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on
a ‘voyage unknown.’

Prince Uche Secondus, Chairman of the party, gave the poser in
Abuja on Friday while addressing a world press conference.

“Do we still have a government? The apparent incompetence of the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the handling of affairs
of governance has continued to take a huge toll on the nation,” he
said.

“The security situation has been such that prominent Nigerian
clerics have been raising serious concern on the issue of
leadership, even questioning whether we really have a
Commander-in-Chief in this country. While the Presidency continues
to argue that there exists a government in our country today, what
obtains in reality is different.

“The level of bloodletting occasioned by the barrage of
criminalities across the country can only be happening in a country
without government. Things got even worse as the remaining goodwill
of the people on this government vanished after it arm-twisted the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) into tampering
with the will of the people in the February 23 Presidential and
National Assembly Elections.

“There is no evidence of the presence of government in this
country as crimes of all kinds are committed all over the country
and Nigerians have never lived in such great fear and trembling for
their lives. From Kaduna to Zamfara, Benue to Taraba, Plateau,
Lagos to Enugu etc., bloodletting is continuing unabated; even the
President’s home state of Katsina has lost about eight local
government areas to bandits, not to talk of the North East.

“Just last week a female foreign humanitarian worker, Faye
Mooney, a Briton was brutally shot dead in Kajuru, Kaduna state.
The situation has deteriorated to the extent that this country can
no longer protect the lives of international aid workers who are
here to help us clear our mess.”

Secondus said the senseless, continuous bloodletting in Kaduna
State should be blamed on the type of provocative leadership
existing in that state and indirectly encouraged by the Federal
Government. He accused “the ‘body bag’ Governor” in the state of
lacking the know-how to engender peace among the people.

“Hs actions and utterances facilitate instead of ameliorating
the ill feelings among the people,” Secondus continued.

“Rather than give teeth to governance and address biting
national issues of concern like the insecurity, this government
exerts all its energies and resources planning nefariously how to
undermine democratic institutions.

“After its several attempts to hijack the legislature failed, it
turned to the Judiciary ridiculing the revered third arm of the
government to the point of removing their confidence.

“The executive-backed humiliation of the head of the Judiciary,
the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is a
well-designed strategy by the APC administration to intimidate and
coerce judicial officers particularly the Judges and Justices to
fall in line and endorse all their undemocratic behaviours that is
bound to come to the judiciary for adjudication.

“They should know that providence has placed in their laps the
opportunity to make positive history and enshrine justice and fair
play in our society knowing as a fact that no nation grows on
injustice and injustice breed crisis. The Judiciary should also
know that the global community are watching to see the calibre of
characters in the nation’s judiciary.

“I also, while appreciating the good work of the media as the
4th estate of realm, urge them to do more in condemning the
deliberate bastardization of critical institutions of democracy and
clear destruction of separation of power among the three arms of
government. The media should as they have always done to stand up
and avert the emerging dictatorial tendencies which always begins
by trying to subjugate the other arms of government.”
