BEVERLY HILLS, March 30, (THEWILL) – Uche Secondus, National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the country is under siege.
Secondus made this known in his Easter message to Nigerians as he asked Nigerians to use the period to reflect on the situation in the country and pray specially for the survival of democracy.
“Christians should see the Easter festivity which also marks the end of the 40 days special fasting and prayers as an ample period for positive attitude to one another,” he said.
“The nation’s democracy more than ever before since 1999 is under heavy stress that need all hands to be on deck for its survival.
“Indicators are apparent that the country is under siege and Nigerians should use this solemn period of Easter to pray for God to intervene and raise good leaders for the country.”
Secondus advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to shun all undemocratic tendencies that could heighten tension in the land.
He also commended ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo; Ibrahim Babangida, a former military ruler; and Theophilus Danjuma, a former minister of defence; for “saying the truth” about the state of the country.
“The new PDP that would emerge after reformation is going to take the country to the next level having been equipped with the requisite experience.”
