A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, has said that the 2027 elections may never come to fruition, as the All Progressives Congress has destroyed and buried democracy in the country.

He also accused the APC of orchestrating a plan to ground Nigeria through misgovernance.

Secondus made this known in a statement on Tuesday, signed by his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, in reaction to Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State.

According to him, all indications suggest that the ruling party is on a mission to destroy democracy in Nigeria.
He noted that what occurred in Edo State over the weekend was “electoral fraud, conducted with no regard for the rule of law or respect for voters.”



The statement partly read, “From the results of all the off-cycle elections conducted in Imo, Kogi, and Edo States, the Mahmoud Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission has shown no remorse for the disgraceful conduct of the 2023 election, which threw Nigeria under the bus.


“With the shameless boast by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, that they will apply the Edo template in other forthcoming off-cycle elections in Ondo and Anambra States, it is clear that 2027 may not even happen, as the ruling party’s agenda is to create a one-party state by silencing the opposition.

“The beauty of democracy lies in opposing voices that check the ruling party, but the APC is set to ruin Nigeria with their misrule and won’t tolerate dissenting views.


Nigeria’s democracy is teetering on the edge because of election rigging. If the Edo election stands, it will be difficult to conduct future elections in Nigeria.

“The manipulation of the Edo election was blatant, beginning with the harassment and arrest of opposition leaders, as well as the compromise of key players, such as security agencies and electoral officials. The world is watching the disgrace we bring to this beautiful system of government, which other nations use to stabilise and develop their countries.”

Our elections can still improve

APC is not plotting, they have already destroyed democracy and grounded the country

No be Uche be this?

I read through his comments and couldnt see him pinpoint what exactly was done wrong during the election. He only used vague and ambitious words that didnt capture the exact thing that happened .

If you think only you way is the way and that because your party didnt win then democracy is threatened, you are a Anarchist with low EI

You can always count on the opposition to play the democracy card whenever they are losing.

The Edo election was a disaster for the opposition. They should just accept the reality and move on.

What is the false alarm that he raised?

This man still dey

Secondus should go and rest.

Why is he always crying like a baby after every election?

A one party state is impossible in democracy. it will only confirm the illegality and corruption of the electoral systems and body and eventually lead to revolt and anarchy.

PDP, a party that said they would rule Nigeria for 65 years should be ashamed of themselves for saying this and not being an effective opposition. Wike is their second test case and it is now getting obvious that PDP is APC at night, PDP in the morning.

During obj pdp rulling 35 state forcefully that’s the highest level of corruption

Dear Jagaban lovers,

What is the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda he promised Nigerians in 2023? This is over one year now. How far?

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

What about the 50 million jobs promised between 2023 to 2026? How many has Tinubu and his government created?

Through keeping for longer than expected an INEC Chairman who changes election laws and ensures APC wins in elections, the Islamist party, APC, has been plotting for an Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. Buhari pledged in 2011 that he would not relent until Islamic sharia criminal justice system is applied in all the states of Nigeria.
Buhari carefully placed on ground a possible 24 unbroken years of Muslim presidency for Nigeria viz: Buhari 8yrs, Tinubu 8yrs, Shettima 8yrs. Buhari enabled the present Muslim-Muslim presidency for Nigeria - first time since 1999.
Buhari enabled Muslim succeeding a Muslim president - first time since 1999.
One of the earliest demands of Alhaji Tanko Mohammed appointed Chief Justice of Nigeria by Buhari was for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in Nigeria's Constitution.
