State Of The Nation: Secondus Blasts President Buhari, Says He Is Not In Charge |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Dissatisfied with the recent happenings in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Uche Secondus, has slammed the President.

The opposition Party Chairman urged President Buhari to take Charge of the country, and not allow some opportunists to hijack the nation from him.

Secondus advised him to wake up and tackle the mounting challenges.

Secondus declared that “the country is drowning, President Buhari needs to wake up”.

The PDP Chairman made these comments on Thursday at the PDP national secretariat when he received the Ogun State Working Committee, following the visit of the delegation, announcing the reconciliation of the warring factions.

Secondus said that the situation in the country could have been better “if the President was up and doing.”

The PDP leader advised Buhari to engender peace in the country by ensuring free, fair and credible polls in Edo and Ondo states.

“INEC must conduct elections. The military must face their professional responsibilities and avoid getting involved in election matters. One clear way of achieving peace is to conduct a free and fair election where the people freely choose their leaders.”

He said the President’s trip to Mali recently was in pursuit of law and order after flawed elections, noting that it should be an eye-opener for him.

Secondus told Ogun PDP leaders to ensure that they sustain the new harmony.

“Ogun state has always been a PDP state but for the unnecessary and avoidable bickering we lost it to the opposition. We must Unite to get it back”, he concluded.
