Edo election: “APC has buried Nigeria’s democracy, 2027 won’t come”

Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has warned that 2027 might never come to political reality, because the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had murdered and buried the country’s democracy.

Reacting to the outcome of the Edo State governorship election, Secondus said every indication showed that the ruling party was on a mission to murder and bury democracy in Nigeria.

He said what took place in Edo State last weekend was an electoral fraud exhibited without regard to the rule of law and respect for the voters.

Secondus stated, “From the results of all the off-cycle elections conducted in Imo, Kogi, and Edo states, the Professor Mahmoud Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not showing any remorse for the show of shame they conducted in 2023 that threw Nigeria under the bus.

“And with the shameless boast of the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, that they will apply the Edo template in other forthcoming off-cycle elections in Ondo and Anambra states, it is very obvious that 2027 will not even come, as the ruling party’s agenda is to create a one-party state by muzzling the opposition.”
