2019 Election: Buhari’s Second Term Will Be Disastrous – Secondus

PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus, has claimed that the crises ravaging the country will further be entrenched if President Muhammadu Buhari is re-elected into office in 2019.

Secondus, who said this in an interview with Punch on Sunday, said Buhari has reneged on all the promises he made to Nigerians to vote him in 2015, adding that those who toiled to get the president elected were already regretting their action.

According to him, the President had divided the country along ethnic and religious lines with his alleged divisive style of governance since he assumed power in 2015.

He said, “The President may have noticed that Nigerians are eager to end his misrule and that’s why he told the governors of the APC to give him some time before he would make up his mind on 2019.

“The fact, however, is that, allowing President Muhammadu Buhari to rule for another four years as from 2019 will be disastrous for the country and its citizens.

“Buhari promised to fight corruption, he promised to fight insurgency and also revive the economy. That’s good.

“But is the fight against corruption working? Is he not shielding alleged corrupt people in his kitchen cabinet? Are we making progress in the fight against insurgency? Nobody is even talking about the economy because if we have remained where we were in 2015 when he assumed office, it would have been better.

“But now, we are miles in retrogression. Pray, should we continue like this for another four years? Those wishing to campaign for him or asking him to run are doing so not in the interest of the country, but for self-preservation.”
