Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Uche Secondus has raised the alarm that Department of State Security (DSS) is planning to take over PDP controlled states.
Secondus said this while addressing a crowd at the Ibom International Airport who came to receive him and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on Tuesday.
He described the recent invasion of Akwa Ibom government house by the DSS as a barbaric action that the entire state, country and international community must unite in condemning it.
He said “This action of the DSS was barbaric and the entire state, country and international community must unite in condemning it.
“We are aware of the maneuvering of the Security architecture of the State controlled by PDP. We are aware of all kinds of transfers in DSS to achieve the plan of taking over by force PDP controlled states. Security men have gone to tribunal to testify for APC. But we are not worried about all that because at the end the truth will prevail. I can assure you that the plans by APC to takeover by force Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta States will fail.
“It is sad that everything in Nigeria is partisan. Otherwise the NGF should have condemned the action; no matter the parties governors belong to. We expect that they should condemn the invasion of the Akwa Ibom Government House by DSS.”
He also accused the All Progressives Congress of planning to rig elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states.
He said “The tenure of Zakari has expired and she can’t manage any election. She should therefore be removed.”
The state Governor, Mr. Udom Gabriel Emmanuelin his remarks said “Akwa Ibom is peaceful. Here we don’t discriminate against one another along partisan or ethnic lines, we accommodate everyone. The free and compulsory education, free health for pregnant women, children under five and the aged is enjoyed even by non-indigenes who are very many.”
