The
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus
has reiterated that there will be no escape route for election riggers in 2019
as he warns the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct
free and fair election and avert crisis.
Speaking
at the Ilorin metropolitan mini-sports stadium on Wednesday at a rally to kick
off the PDP North Central Presidential rally in Kwara state, Secondus said that
his party would not accept the outcome of a rigged election.
The
PDP National Chairman told the crowd drawn from the six states of Kwara, Niger,
Nasarawa, Benue, Kogi and Plateau that make up the zone that the party has
chosen a rescuer in the person of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and
his Vice Peter Obi.
According
to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office signed by ike Abonyi,
Secondus said that the All Progressives Congress, APC leaders are afraid of the
PDP flag beaeers because of the credibility and rich record of performance they
possess.
Secondus
noted that APC leaders have exhausted their lies and have come to the end of
the road since the people cannot be fooled all of the time.
“Atiku
Abubakar is a man set out by providence to rescue this country from the APC
mess and we must give him our votes.
“He
is the man destined to make Nigeria work again and he would end hunger and
unite Nigerians once again,” he said.
Secondus,
who called for a minute silence in honour of persons killed by herdsmen in the
North Central zone, remarked that Atiku is the man who will end killings in the
country.
The
National Chairman also delivered some words of warning to the Police and other
security operatives who might want to connive with INEC and the All
Progressives Congress, APC, to thwart the will of the people, that they would
be stoutly resisted since the voters are determined to act as electoral
soldiers to guard and protect their votes.
The
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who is also the Director General of the
Presidential Campaign of the party told the rally that Atiku is the only person
with the wherewithal to tackle the challenges facing the country.
On
his part the Presidential candidate, Atiku assured the people that with their
mandate he would drastically address the myriads of the problems facing the
country.
The
highpoint of the rally which attracted top PDP leaders from the North Central
zone was the handing over of victory flags to the Presidential candidate and
PDP gubernatorial flag bearers in five states of Benue, Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau
and Kwara excluding Kogi whose governorship election is due later in 2019
