Acting chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus, says Nigeria is in dire need of its party, PDP.
The party chieftain, made the statement today at an Interdenominational thanksgiving service in Akwa Ibom state to celebrate the victory of the Akwa Ibom state governor, Emmanuel Udom at the Supreme Court.
Secondus said: "Nigeria is in dire need of PDP, you can see the difference. Eight months ago, the exchange rate was N160, today it is N313. Eight months ago, vessels of goods and services were competing to enter into our harbor. Today, none.
"The economy is sliding; it is getting to a point of collapse. The political situation of the country is in coma and we challenge the APC-led government that it is time to realize that they need the people more than they need the guns because we are not military.
"We dedicate today to God to the strength that he has given PDP. PDP will come back with strength and we warn the APC led government that Nigeria should not be a police state where people are harassed and stake holders are being intimidated.”
Also speaking at the occassion was the Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose who said if members of PDP work together, they will get back their inheritance, “If we put our house together, if we stay together, if we put the past behind us, we will take back our inheritance, it is our inheritance taken by deception, taken by propaganda, taken by hidden agenda,” he said.
