National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has lamented the level of insecurity in the country, insisting that the criminalities witnessed has led to people living in great fear for their lives.
He stated at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, that more needs to be done in addressing the security situation in the country.
“There is no evidence of the presence of government in this country as crimes of all kinds are committed all over the country and Nigerians have never lived in such a great fear and trembling for their lives.
“From Kaduna to Zamfara, Benue to Taraba, Plateau, Lagos to Enugu etc., bloodletting is continuing unabated, even the President’s home state of Katsina has lost about eight local government areas to bandits, not to talk of the North East.”

The PDP chairman also spoke about the killing of a British aid worker and a Nigerian in Kajuru, Kaduna state a week ago.
“Just last week a female foreign humanitarian worker, Faye Mooney, a Briton was brutally shot dead in Kajuru, Kaduna state. The situation has deteriorated to the extent that this country can no longer protect the lives of international aid workers who are here to help us clear our mess.”
Mr Secondus urged Nigerian leaders to address the security situation and not wait until the challenges become uncontrollable.

The security situation has been such that prominent Nigerian clerics have been raising serious concern on the issue of leadership, even questioning whether we really have a Commander-in-Chief in this country.

The level of bloodletting occasioned by the barrage of criminalities across the country can only be happening in a country without government.

Things got even worse as the remaining goodwill of the people on this government vanished after it arm-twisted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, into tampering with the will of the people in the February 23 Presidential and National Assembly Elections.

The senseless continuous bloodletting in Kaduna state should be blamed on the type of provocative leadership existing in that state and indirectly encouraged by the federal government.

The ‘body bag’ governor in the state does not seem to know how to engender peace among the people, his actions and utterances facilitate instead of ameliorating the ill feelings among the people.

Destruction of Democratic Institutions.
Rather than give teeth to governance and address biting national issues of concern like the insecurity, this government exerts all its energies and resources planning nefariously how to undermine democratic institutions.

The executive backed humiliation of the head of the Judiciary, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is a well-designed strategy by the APC administration to intimidate and coerce judicial officers particularly the Judges and…

…Justices to fall in line and endorse all their undemocratic behaviours that is bound to come to the judiciary for adjudication.

My advice for members of the Judiciary particularly those handling election matters and who are all Nigerians and who are also leaving in Nigeria is that the country and rule of law should guide all their actions.

The Judiciary should also know that the global community are watching to see the calibre of characters in the nation’s judiciary.

I like to end this brief remarks urging Nigerian leaders through you the media to speak up on the situation in the country and not wait until the nation finally grounds to halt before they voice out.

I also while appreciating the good work of the media as the 4th estate of realm urges them to do more in condemning the deliberate bastardization of critical institutions of democracy and clear destruction of separation of power among the three arms of government.
— Prince Uche Secondus (@UcheSecondus) April 26, 2019
The media should as they have always done stand up and avert the emerging dictatorial tendencies which always begins by trying to subjugate the other arms of government.
Thanks and God bless.
