The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus says that Nigerians deserve salute for their dexterity in the face of failed leadership as the country marks her 58th independence Anniversary.
He however expressed regret that this year’s anniversary was being marked “with a richly endowed nation like Nigeria being declared the headquarters of the world poor due to the inept leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the last 40 months.”
In a statement from his media office signed by Ike Abonyi, Secondus said; “Another notable sad aspect of this celebration is the continued threat to democracy by the APC administration as was witnessed at the last governorship election in Osun state where the electoral body and security agencies joined hands with the APC to truncate democracy by thwarting the will of the people”

He lamented that the poor governance from the APC administration in the last three years has dragged the country back in various areas of endeavour adding however, that “the consolation is that democracy provides Nigerians the opportunity to change bad government” and urged them to do just that in 2019.
The PDP National Chairman further noted that the country would have a better prospect if democracy flourishes and the people are allowed to exercise their franchise at will.
He therefore enjoined Nigerians to resist anything that would prevent them from freely determining who governs and how public funds are expended.
Secondus saluted Nigeria’s fallen heroes and wished Nigerians well as he assured them of a better Nigeria under the PDP administration.
