Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus said Nigeria’s economy under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari’s led All Progressives Congress, APC, has been severely destroyed. The PDP chairman, who made the statement yesterday, during an interdenominational thanksgiving service, organised by the Akwa Ibom State Government in celebration of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s Supreme Court victory, said the economy has nose-dived and that the value of the naira has depreciated since the APC took over the reins of power. He said: “Nigeria is in the dire need of PDP because you can see the difference.
It is very clear; eight months ago, exchange rate was N160 to $1 but today it is N313 to $1. Eight onths ago, vessels of goods and services were competing on how to enter our harbour and seaports but today none. “Our economy is sliding, is getting to a point of to my house around 9 o’clock, he abused me and nobody was there in the house.
The house belongs to my late father and I am the third son of my father. I was the only person in the house so when he started abusing me we collapse. The political situation in the country is in coma. I will challenge the APC government that it is time to realise that they need the people and not the guns because we are not in the military.
They need the people more than the military.” In his remark, Governor Emmanuel lambasted APC for defaming the character of the judiciary, following judgments that were delivered by the Supreme Court in favour of the PDP.
The governor recalled with displeasure that the opposition had embarked on campaigns of calumny, blackmail and propaganda to polarise and divide the state on the altar of partisan politics. While thanking God, the leadership of the PDP and his legal team for the Supreme Court victory, Governor Emmanuel commended security agencies in the state for containing the provocations of the opposition. He also hailed President Buhari for respecting the principle of separation of powers by not interfering with the judiciary.
