National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has raised an alarm of increased insecurity across the nation.
Secondus in his speech at the party’s 90th national
executive committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday November 19, said the
country's current challenges is due to the “poor governance” of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) government. He said that Buhari is not providing
the leadership needed to address insecurity.
The PDP chairman said;
“Great leaders of our party, before the COVID-19 lockdown
our country was already going through some socio-political and economic
challenges all arising from the poor governance delivery by the ruling APC.
“The security problem of the country has refused to abate,
instead, it has multiplied with no clear solution in sight.
“President Muhammadu Buhari led APC government, under whose
watch the situation got worsened and complicated has remained clearly helpless
and incapable of providing the needed leadership.
“The consequences of all these came to the fore when the
youths, last month, poured out their anger on the country through a nationwide
protest.
“Even though the protest was triggered off by accumulated
police brutality, particularly by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad
(SARS), it developed into a wider rebellion against injustice and poor
leadership in the country.”
On Governor Umahi's defection, Secondus said;
“You must have read the eventual defection of PDP Governor
in Ebonyi state, His Excellency Dave Umahi to the ruling APC on Tuesday and his
provocative reason of allegations of injustice against the south-east by the
party.
“We have refused to join issues with him in any way but we
cannot bow to any blackmail. What I can report to NEC is that the strength of
our party in Ebonyi state and south-east is intact and the NWC has taken
necessary steps to protect and guard it.
“The real season that informed this decision will soon be exposed.
