The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has appealed to Nigerians to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general election for the country to survive.
Secondus made the appeal in Katsina, Katsina State, while addressing PDP members and supporters at the weekend.
He said that Nigerians could no longer endure the suffering brought about by the APC administration.
The PDP chairman’s Spokesman, Ike Abonyi, stated that Secondus advised the crowd that was shouting, “A kori Yinwa (let’s chase out hunger), to be ready to vote out APC and keep hunger out of their lives.
Secondus said that Nigeria unity was seriously under threat because of APC style that has made Nigerians enemy to themselves.
He said at the rally organized by the North West zone of the party to formally welcome the APC defecting members to the party that the APC has nothing to offer Nigerians.
“In Katsina State APC has nothing to show outside what the late Umaru Yar Adua and Ibrahim Shema did for you.
“PDP is the only party that has the interest of the people at heart; it’s the only party that will guarantee national unity,” he told the crowd.
Four PDP state governors, Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State; Darius Ishaku of Taraba; Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom and Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe were top PDP leaders that graced the occasion.
All members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP, the BOT Chairman, Senator Walid Jibrin, former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, and other members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) attended the rally.
Highlight of the rally was the PDP National Chairman receiving thousands of defecting APC members led by a former Senator and gubernatorial aspirant, Senator Mohammed Lado.
