L-R: Secondus, Atiku and Governor Ikpeazu during the PDP Abia Rally on Saturday
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has charged Nigerians especially those living in boarder states of the North not to sell their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) to foreigners.
Prince Secondus said that available intelligence to the party shows that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) imported foreigners from Niger and Chad republics and are buying up PVCs from Nigerians with a view to manipulating the results.
The PDP National Chairman spoke at a rally in Umuahia, Abia State, and Benin, Edo State, as the presidential campaign train arrived the two states on Saturday.
According to a statement from his media office signed by Ike Abonyi, Prince Secondus said that the Ministry of Interior should consider closing the nation’s boarders in those areas until after the election.
He warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to do everything to avert the thwarting of the will of Nigerian people on the election as that would breed violence.
“When we raise alarm about their rigging plot they get uncomfortable because they want us to keep quiet and let them manipulate the election but such will lead to violence and we want peace,” he said.
