Uche Secondus,
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says President Muhammadu Buhari
is celebrating his last Democracy Day as the country’s leader.
In
his Democracy Day message to Nigerians on Tuesday, Secondus said the country
“cannot afford him (Buhari) further if our democracy and nation are to
survive”.
The
message signed by Ike Abonyi, his spokesman, described Buhari as a
“non-democrat” who has put the country in “jeopardy”.
“Nigerians
are anxiously looking forward to the opportunity to dispense with the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC) and the president,” the statement added.
Secondus
said on a day Nigerians should be celebrating freedom and good governance, they
are instead “groaning in the avoidable hardship”.
He
said: “If democracy must survive in our country we must do away with APC and
Nigerians are ready and willing to do just that because they cherish democracy
as the best form of government.
“Going
by their poor record of performance in the last 36 months, and the
determination of Nigerians to put the country in the right footing, this is the
last Democracy Day this president will mark as the president.
“The
next Democracy Day May 29, 2019, which Nigerians and indeed all lovers of
democracy are anxiously looking forward to would be the smooth transition from
confusion and purposeless governance to real democracy which the PDP is
returning to gift to the nation.”
