SAN FRANCISCO, December 12, (THEWILL) – The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus says the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has struck a pact with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the leadership of the police to cripple states controlled by his party and ensure they lose focus on the in-coming elections.
Prince Secondus said that the move which is aimed at causing severe and disabling damage to these states is part of the grand design to distract the PDP from its focused journey to reclaim power and rescue this country from the inept rule of the APC.
According to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office signed by Ike Abonyi, the opposition party said its privy to a credible intelligence showing that the ruling party has mapped out a strategy to ensure that PDP controlled states are adequately inconvenienced and frustrated enough not to have concentration to tackle their re-election.
Prince Secondus singled out Bayelsa state that had eight Police Commissioners in three years as well as Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi States where the Police leadership in the states have been changed at randomly at the dictates of APC government.
He said the APC engineered the crisis in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly as part of the plot and accused the police of bias.
“In most PDP states despite the governors being the statutory chief security officers, Police Commissioners have set up parallel structures to undermine the security of the states just to satisfy their pay masters.
“They have resolved to inject crisis in PDP controlled states and ensure that our Governors who are refusing to play ball are permanently distracted for their re elections.
“They have deployed huge cash in these states to either use labour or state legislators to inject crisis, frighten the governors and force them to do a deal with them,” Secondus said in the statement.
The National Chairman disclosed that the anti graft agencies particularly the EFCC and the Police have been co-opted into this nefarious project to make it look as if it’s anti corruption program.
“Nigerians should ask the EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu who is busy campaigning for President Muhammedu Buhari and wearing his campaign badge why only PDP governors are on their radar.
“Nigerians should ask EFCC why they are looking away on what happened in Kano that everybody watched, if Governor Ibrahim Ganduje had been a PDP would EFCC have kept mum?
“Nigerians should find out why is it that only PDP Finance Commissioners are visitors to EFCC while their APC counterparts where corruption is obvious are glorified.
“Only PDP governors are performing and carrying out people oriented projects across the country as can be witnessed by all but they are the only one being harassed by Magu and his team.
“We are aware on good authority that Magu has vowed to make the re- election of President Buhari his personal project even if Nigerians appear to have turned their back on them,” he said.
Prince Secondus accused the APC of not seeking to derive their mandate from the populace but more engaged in devious acts to achieve result.
He however warned the police and the EFCC leadership that the PDP and the Nigerian people will use every available means guaranteed by law to resist any attempt to thwart their will.
