2023 Elections May Not Hold -Secondus

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has raised an alarm that there might be no election in 2023, if the military continues to participate during elections as they were allegedly used during the February 23 elections.
Secondus gave the warning during his speech at the opening session of the caucus meeting of the party in Abuja, last Monday.
He stated that the alleged involvement of the military in the elections was undemocratic and unconstitutional.
The PDP national chairman said they have already gone to the tribunal, where their petition was filed yesterday.
According to him, it is surprising that the National Peace Committee had allegedly kept silence over the alleged intimidation and harassment of Atiku, his acquaintances and some PDP stalwarts.
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that Saturday’s elections were free, fair, transparent and credible.
Secondus said, “On February 23, 2019, how will history judge you (Buhari)? How will the next generation judge you? In fact, there may not be election in 2023, it may just be announcement because if you have the military on your side, you do not need the people, you do not need to campaign. All you need to do is to put the figure on Election Day and announce. Is that what is going to happen again on March 9?”
The PDP chairman urged the military to remain professional in the discharge of their duties, adding that they must not allow themselves to be used by politicians.
He said, “We appeal to the authorities especially our professional military men and women that this has never happened before. They must have a rethink. If they want to participate in politics, they are free to do so”.
