"FG, APC DESPERATE TO DISTRACT ME"....SECONDUS REVEALS.

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has called on the Federal Government which has the ruling All Progressives Congress in charge, to stop the media trial and blackmail.


The PDP National Chairman has therefore, challenged the APC to meet him in court.

issued by the Media Office of the National Chairman statement says "the attention of the office has been drawn to the desperation of the federal government and its ruling All Progressives Congress APC to frame him up with some blatant fabrications ostensibly to distract him from carrying out his responsibility of rebuilding his party".

According to the statement which was signed by Ike Abonyi, SA Media, "the National Chairman would ordinarily not want to join issues with the government on a matter already in court but noted regrettably that, the administration has great contempt for the court and the rule of law and has instead, chosen to use blackmail and media persecution to defame and discredit their enemies".

"But, Prince Secondus said that even that gimmick has failed because, Nigerians have come to know the antics of the drowning government", the statement read.

It quoted Secondus as saying that; "the federal government and its agency, in its desperation to forge documents and defame him, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammad and the EFCC could not reconcile their lies".

"They couldn't agree on the date of the purported money collection and whether it was collected by him Secondus or by a faceless fictional Chukwura that has no surname.

"While they may have embarked on a wide search since 2015 for the surname of the so called aide of the National Chairman, Alhaji Mohammad claimed in his press conference on Good Friday March 29th, 2018 that Secondus collected the money on 19th of February, 2015. EFCC on their part on April 16th, 2018, eighteen days after, said the money was collected on February 9th, 2015 and in another version, still quoting the same EFCC claimed February 2, 2015".

Prince Uche Secondus in the statement, said that; "nothing, not even the blackmail and intimidation lined up against the opposition by the federal government, would be enough to stop him from carrying out the reforms of his party, the PDP as, the program is aimed at repositioning the party with a view to rescuing Nigeria from the disaster called APC administration".

He described as unfortunate and tragic, the fact that an anti corruption agency like the EFCC, founded and nurtured by the PDP administration to tackle the issue of corruption in the system, had to turn itself into a pawn in the hands of APC administration to witch-hunt and harass perceived enemies of government just to impress and keep its job".

Secondus challenged the government and any agency that have anything against him that just cropped up because he is trying to rebrand his party, to bring such evidence to the court and stop character assassination in the media.

"There is no need to be talking about a case pending in court in the newspapers".

"If the government has anything to say, they should file it before the court as demanded".

"The office of the National Chairman is aware of a grand design by the government to stop at anything to tarnish his image, but that move will fail", the SA reiterated.

He challenged the government to come out with the vouchers with which he was said to have signed, adding that such signature would also be subjected to forensic analysis.

"I never collected any money from anywhere. I didn’t ask anyone to collect money for me as well and I didn’t sign any voucher to collect any money", secondus insisted.

"It is pure blackmail which will never work".

"If they are cooking up anything, with the aim of blackmailing me, it will fail. I know that the task of uprooting this non-performing government would be horrendous but, God is always on the side of the people".

"I can understand the frustration of a party that enjoyed enormous goodwill from Nigerians three years ago but, got it squandered with its 'nepotic' and insensitive administration".

"No amount of cheap blackmail and treachery will return the APC from the exit gate where Nigerians already pushed them to, awaiting 2019".

"The departure date for the APC has already been announced and the flight schedule would not be cancelled because, Nigerians cannot wait to see them off".

However, we are not oblivious of the fact that this government does not believe in the courts because, they see the rule of law as antithetical to their own agenda and understanding of democracy.

"Truth must prevail over lies and propaganda especially as the populace has cried out to God for a rescue".
