Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, cautioned that the prospects of 2027 materializing politically were at risk, alleging that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had effectively extinguished the country’s democracy.
In response to the results of the Edo State governorship election, Secondus expressed that all signs pointed to the ruling party’s agenda to eliminate and inter the democratic principles in Nigeria.
He criticized the events in Edo State during the previous weekend as a display of electoral misconduct devoid of adherence to legal principles and consideration for the electorate.
Secondus said, “From the results of all the off-cycle elections conducted in Imo, Kogi, and Edo states, the Professor Mahmoud Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not showing any remorse for the show of shame they conducted in 2023 that threw Nigeria under the bus.
“And 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 is very obvious that 2027 will not even come, as the ruling party’s agenda is to create a one-party state by muzzling the opposition.”
