Uche Secondus, has said the new coalition led by former President Olusegun Obasanjo was not a threat to a possible PDP victory in the 2019 general elections.
Mr. Obasanjo mentioned the need for the coalition in his famous letter to President Muhammadu Buhari. The coalition is believed to be gaining momentum and reportedly enjoys the support of some governors and lawmakers.
“The new coalition will never be a threat because we are a solid political party founded by our founding fathers. We are solid on the ground, and I believe that they are a threat to the other parties and not our party.”
“We vowed not to repeat the order of imposition, and we have reassured our leadership and our people that we will devolve power down to the states so that they can take responsibilities and make sure that whatever names that are submitted would not be changed.”
Mr. Saraki and his political ally, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara have denied planning to return to the PDP.
“I believe that they would soon come back,” Mr. Secondus said. “There is fear in the country, and very soon, you will see political tsunami that even the members of the ruling party would be coming en-mass to the PDP,” Mr. Secondus said.
“The Buhari administration is a colossal failure, and the entire country is aware of this.”
The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, while speaking, stressed that the party and the government in the state were strong and doing well.
“We are not afraid to go to the people because we are doing a lot despite the economic challenges facing us.”
