The acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Uche Secondus, has stated that the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) has a plan to cause crisis in states controlled by the PDP.
Secondus made the call in an interview with newsmen, shortly after attending a 3-day retreat for PDP members-elect of the National Assembly, themed, “The Role of The Opposition Party in Facilitating Development and Good Governance”, in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
Secondus expressed concern over the plan of the APC to dissolve election tribunals set up by the judiciary in Akwa Ibom and Abia, noting that, the development has resulted in the relocation of the tribunals to Abuja.
He hinted that, there was a plan by the APC to systematically cause crisis in the PDP controlled states, which he observed would not augur well for the nation’s democracy and urged President Buhari to ensure that, his administration abide by the rule of law, which he promised to keep in his electoral campaign.
He also drew the attention of President Buhari and the international community to the political crisis in Ekiti state, describing it as unfortunate, where the legislators were bent on forcefully removing Governor Ayo Fayose, without serving him an impeachment notice.
