Military Regime Is Far Better Than Buhari Administration – Secondus

Uche Secondus, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says a military government is better than the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking on Wednesday at a dinner to welcome those who left the All Progressives Congress (APC), Secondus alleged that the ruling party had foisted on the country “a kind of military democracy”.

Senate President Bukola Saraki and Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Sokoto, are the latest notable politicians to defect to the PDP.

Secondus said those who left APC could not watch the country slide into crisis.

“They can not watch the country sliding into crisis as we have found ourselves today – bloodletting, killings unabated. The government of denial, the government of frame-up, the government of intimidation and harassment, a government that believes in the feast of arms,” Second said.

“I thought that one of the critical elements of democracy is lobbying and persuasion is the greatest weapon of a Democrat or a politician. We have seen in the past few years that the APC-led government has foisted on this nation a kind of military democracy that cannot be described. It is better for us to have full-blown military.

“The institutions that are supposed to maintain law and order, like the one we have witnessed as in the case of Ekiti and in the case of Benue charged with the maintenance of law and order are the same people who are breaking this law and order. No rule of law, court orders are not obeyed we are getting deeper and deeper into crisis.

“These heroes of democracy who have decided to move from the ruling party, very unusual to stand with the people, not only PDP, they are standing with the majority of Nigerians. The need to honour them, they are the heroes of democracy. Their decision was in the defence of democracy,” he added.

The chairman said there was no longer freedom in the country.

“It is a long work to freedom. There is no longer in Nigeria. If you tell them the truth they will tell you that it is hate speech,” he said.

“Tell them the honest truth they will say it is fake news.”
