| Prince Uche Secondus PDP National Chairman |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reported President Muhammadu Buhari to the United Nations (UN) over plots by his Presidency and the All Progressive Congress (APC) to scuttle the conduct of the general elections, particularly the Presidential poll.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan,The PDP said there is heightened tension tension across the country over the manipulations by the Buhari Presidency, aiding that if the UN and the International community fail to intervene and support a credible, free, and fair election, our nation may witness an electoral stillbirth, capable of triggering violence and humanitarian crisis in Nigeria and the entire Sub Saharan region.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, who led the members of the National Working Committee to receive the special representative of the UN Secretary General for West Africa and the Sahel, Mr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, in his office in Abuja on Friday, alerted the UN Security Council that President Buhari is already compromising the military and other security forces as tools to muscle the electoral process.
Secondus also told the UN how the Presidency has annexed Nigeria's electoral body, INEC, and how it has not been able to conduct any credible election for the past three and half years as a result of this situation, He further called for the resignation of the INEC chairman.
"Similarly, our INEC has been annexed by the Buhari Presidency.This is the reason it has not been able to conduct any credible election in the last three and half years. Nigerians have lost confidence that INEC as presently constituted can guarantee credible polls in 2019. We, therefore demand for the resignation of the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, and Mrs. Amina Zakari, who is a niece of Mr. President" Secondus said.
