FCT, Abuja – A former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Prince Uche Secondus, has said 2027 may never come following the outcome of last Saturday’s governorship election in Edo state.
Secondus alleged that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has murdered and buried democracy in Nigeria with the manner the Edo election was conducted.
He said every rule was turned upside down to ensure the APC candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo emerges as the winner at all cost.
This was contained in a statement signed by Secondus’ Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, in Abuja, on Tuesday, September 24, Vanguard reports.
Secondus said it will be difficult to conduct elections in Nigeria if the results of the Edo governorship election are allowed to stand.
The PDP chieftain added that:

Damagum disclosed the party’s next line of action as he urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to retrace its steps.
