INEC chair lacks courage to conduct free, fair poll – Secondus

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, yesterday accused  the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of putting  President Muhammadu Buhari under  undue campaign pressure.
Secondus said those he called  power grabbers in the ruling party were bent on returning Buhari to power for their interest.
The PDP chairman spoke in Abuja on Friday while inaugurating the party’s 27 presidential election campaign committees at the party’s campaign office.
Secondus said with what Nigerians and the international community are witnessing around the President lately, it’s apparent that he is tired but they would not let him be.
“There is no way this President can cope given what we are witnessing, added to this is the incompetence in leadership Nigerians have been seeing in the last three years,” the party chairman said.
Prince Secondus warned that Nigerians are not ready to take anything less than free, fair and credible poll in the upcoming elections.
He said, “Our fear is that the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, lacks the will and courage to ignore the pressure from the APC to conduct free and transparent election.
“But he should know that he would be held responsible for any fall out from a rigged election.”
The opposition party chairman reiterated his call on the new Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to clear the mess left behind by his predecessor by running a professional and responsible police force.
Prince Secondus also explained why the PDP would continue to protest the membership of Mrs Amina Zakari as a National Commissioner in INEC.
Restating the call for Zakari’s resignation, the party chair said the PDP would continue to oppose her continued stay at the electoral body because “we have evidence of what she did in Ekiti and Osun states.”
