The ex-PDP Chairman was responding to the events and results of the recent Edo State governorship election held last Saturday.

 
Prince Uche Secondus, a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has slammed the All Progressives Congress.
 
He accused the party of eroding the principles of Nigeria's democracy.
 
Secondus said this in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, in Abuja, on Tuesday.
 
The ex-PDP Chairman was responding to the events and results of the recent Edo State governorship election held last Saturday.
 
He said the election  saw to it that every rule was turned upside down to deliver the APC candidate at all cost.
 
According to him, there was every indication that the ruling party is on a mission to “murder and bury democracy in Nigeria.”
 
The former PDP boss described what took place in Edo state last weekend, was electoral fraud exhibited without any regard for the rule of law and respect for the voters.
 
He argued that from the results of all the off-circle elections conducted in Imo, Kogi, and Edo states, the Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is not showing any remorse for the sham of an election it conducted in 2023 which threw Nigeria under the bus.
 
Secondus further noted 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 obvious that 2027 will not even come as the ruling party’s agenda is to create a one-party state by muzzling the opposition.
 
Secondus 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 variance views.
 
“Nigeria’s democracy is sitting on the keg of gunpowder because of rigging. If the Edo Election stands  it will be difficult to carry on elections in Nigeria going forward.”
 
He reiterated 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 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.” He quipped.
