Uche Secondus, national chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Nigerians did not bargain for
“avoidable bloodletting and loss of human lives” during the 2015 elections.
Secondus said this in his New
Year message issued by Ike Abonyi, his spokesman.
He advised Nigerians to see 2019
as “the restoration year” for the country, noting that the electorate’s
decisions will determine the future of the country.
He said 2019 provides the
opportunity to save the country from her current state of “misrule”.
“The general election in the
country this year 2019 provides ample opportunity for the country to be rescued
and restored as the biggest black nation in the world both economically and
politically, ” the statement read.
“This year provides us the ground
to save our democracy and the country from the comatose state misrule has
placed it.
“Nigerians did not vote in 2015
for their economy which was the best in the continent to be so damaged to merit
her the poor capital of the world.
“It was not the desire of
Nigerians in 2015 when they voted to have such frightening unemployment record
as confirmed by the National Bureau of Statistics after nearly four years.
“Our nation did not bargain for
this quantum of avoidable bloodletting and loss of human lives when it voted in
2015.”
The national chairman said it
would be a huge disservice to the nation if the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) fails to give the country free, fair and credible elections
in 2019.
Secondus advised security
agencies in the country to remember that their responsibility is to Nigerians
and not to “a particular government in power”.
He urged global democracies to
show more than passing interests in the 2019 elections because of the strategic
importance of Nigeria in the democratic community of Africa.
