The National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has said that the party is working with some past presidents of the country to send President Muhammadu Buhari out of office in 2019.
However, Secondus, who spoke during the opening ceremony of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday, did not name the former presidents.
The Herald Nigeria can report that the only living ex-leaders of the country are: General Yakubu Gowon, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, General Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Ernest Shonekan, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
Secondus said, “We have met with former Presidents and former leaders and they are in unison to make sure that come 2019, a new and fresh President is elected and a new government is formed in our nation.
“Because of this challenge, we have taken it upon ourselves as the leading opposition party to broaden our scope, open our doors and allow ideas to flow in for a more robust democratic development.
“We, therefore, invite our brothers, sisters, youths and women from other political parties in this platform to join us to rescue our country that is in distress socially, politically, and economically and security wise.
“In this country today over 3.1 million citizens are languishing in various IDPs across the country yet we are not at war with any country.
“Our consultations have taken us to meet with various interest groups who are willing to do business with us and I can report to you that it has been very fruitful.
“We expect in the coming days to have a broader political family working dedicatedly to rescue this democracy and our beloved country from the hands of the All Progressives Congress.”
