The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has warned that unchecked excesses of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Bar Nyesom Wike, are capable of truncating the nation’s democracy.
Prince Secondus, who was reacting to last Saturday’s local government election in Rivers State and the indecorous behavior of the Minister and his hired thugs before and after the election, warned that the former Governor of the state is indisputably the biggest threat to democracy in Nigeria today and should be closely watched.
The former PDP boss warned the federal government which Wike is now serving and deriving his crooked powers from, that the man they are protecting is aiming to pull down democracy in the country.
“It’s only in this country and under the watch of a party like APC that one person will be a member of two political parties and use them to cause nuisance in the society,” Secondus sneered.
He advised President Tinubu to see Wike for what he truly is – an unruly bull in a China shop, ready and willing to pull down everything in the shop to quench his appetite for violence.
He reminded the federal government of the strategic importance of Rivers State, which hosts some of the nation’s most critical socio-economic assets.
Prince Secondus advised President Tinubu to work with Governor Fubara to protect these assets by checking the inordinate ambition of Wike.
He congratulated the people of Rivers State, particularly the voters, for turning out massively on Saturday and resisting all the threats from Wike and his hired hoodlums with their ballots.
He also commended Governor Similaya Fubara for standing out for democracy and providing leadership to his people when it was very necessary by refusing to be intimidated.
Prince Secondus finally warned that all indexes of a failed democracy already exist in Nigeria today, and the Federal government should be careful about how it handles anti-democratic operatives like Bar Wike.
