The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of inciting security forces against Nigerians in his desperation to cling on to power.
Mr. Secondus said this on Monday in a statement in Abuja, saying the President’s diretive to service chiefs to kill Nigerians is nothing but a “predetermined script hatched by the ruling party to create voter apathy and implement their result replacement plans using thugs protected by the military.”
The PDP chairman noted that Mr. Buhari’s remarks at APC National caucus meeting on Monday is a declaration of war on Nigeria voters.
According to him, it is the first time in Nigeria that a president would openly threaten the lives of the citizens.
He alleged that the president had never been sincere in conducting a free and fair election, citing his refusal to sign the amended Electoral Act which he said would have facilitated a credible election in the country.
Secondus added, “In all democracies world over, elections are civil matters that is usually handled by civil security like Police. Why the involvement of our military in this matter when they have enough security challenges to tackle?”
Mr. Buhari had on Monday in Abuja threatened Ballot box snatchers with death.
