National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party met in Abuja on Thursday over the conduct of the rerun governorship election in Osun State.

While rejecting it, the party also said that the Thursday election was one of the worst days in the history of Nigeria.

It described the election as a black day for the nation.

The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, spoke at an emergency meeting after the meeting of members of the PDP National Working Committee.

He lamented that Osun State was put under siege and the citizens’ right trampled upon by security agents, whom he said were backed by both the All Progressives Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission officials.

He expressed concern that if what took place in Osun State was what would take place in 2019, then the future of Nigeria’s democracy “is bleak and the nation sliding into crisis.”

He said, “What we have witnessed in Osun shows clearly that the All Progressives Congress is not ready for an election and we are afraid that President Muhammadu Buhari will not hand over if he loses the election next year.

“Today, we are all aware of the rerun election in Osun State as we address the press conference. We, the members of the National Working Committee, have reviewed what has happened from the distribution of materials to the actual voting in some of the units and wards.

“We found that Osun is under siege. Therefore, today is a black day for Nigeria.

“We would think that it is a state or some units, but if you look at what has transpired so far from Ekiti to Osun State, Nigerians are groaning in pains especially the Osun people.

“The right of the citizens to be able to come out and vote had been trampled upon and the entire state and the wards and units have been seized by the security agencies who were acting on behalf of the APC to make sure the election is rigged by all means.

“We are sad that if this is what is going to take place in 2019, then the future of Nigeria’s democracy is bleak and we are sliding into crisis.”

Secondus challenged INEC to rise above what happened in Osun and declare the PDP candidate as the winner of the election.

He also called on the commission to immediately cancel the elections in all the units where security agencies seized the Permanent Voter Cards of PDP members and also where their members were prevented from voting.

In his reaction, the Deputy National Chairman (South-West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, noted that security agents colluded with the APC people by allowing those wearing uniform bearing the APC governorship name to vote.

He alleged that in Orolu and Garage Olode and some of the units, the PVCs of PDP members were seized and INEC members of staff were induced with cash, which he said they could not refuse.

Black day for pdp and thier miserable ipob terrorists sympathisers .
Your father!

I used to be indifferent about Nigeria as a country but it's sad to say that I'm almost hating Nigeria now.
Never ever felt this way about Nigeria before..

Imagine the desperation of this present government.
They're not desperate to do what is right so people would keep voting them, instead they're desperate to keep themselves imposed on Nigerians.

I hate everything that happens in Nigeria now..
Speaking from my heart of hearts

I concur with the poster above....it's quite disheartening, I'm not into any party but the desperation shown by APC is quite alarming, INEC a supposedly independent body has now become an instrument of oppression in the hands of the present govt. ... And it's not about losers even the independent observers, the UK and UN has a lot to say on it

Bright day for the winner, Dark day for the sore loser. Isn't that the way it usually is??

There was a mere 7 polling unit for that election.

What stopped the following guys from supervising each of those polling units?
1. Saraki
2. Wike
3. Atiku
4. Fayose
5. David Mark
6. Tambuwal
7. Secondus

PDP r not ready to rule, APC had 13 Governors on ground for that election but PDP were forming boss.

They r only good at crying foul. I guess that's where the name "Wailers" came from.

Why is PDP crying and disturbing everybody? When they frustrated Omisore out of the party, they didn't know.

In 2003, PDP claimed to win 100% of the votes in Bonny Island, ANPP rejected it. In June 2003 when they wanted to start election petition, the ANPP chairman Marshall Harry was killed.

They rigged elections everywhere with reckless abandon. Check all reports on elections conducted under PDP.

In Rivers State where this same Secondus comes from, more than 50 people were killed by PDP during Wike's election.

Go and see the evils that PDP do and some dumb criminals here support them.

Kanu is doing what he's convinced would work.

I'm supporting Biafra, knowing fully well that restructuring isn't a bad option if we finally land there

The thing is most of you guys think everyone is stupid. We know that you're pained that the evil party is not allowed to fester here in the SW.

Even in your Anambra state, why didn't you guys vote PDP?

Shebi you Ipob miscreants were shouting "no leflendum no erection". Why is Osun state "erection" now your business?

As I've said, you have 2 options: go to court or go to hell. I advise you choose the latter.

Everything Buhari inherited he has destroyed.
Buhari would rather die than accept electoral defeat.

Goodbye to democracy. Hitler and Stalin ain't got nothing on the lifeless skeleton.

Cry me a lagoon

Little taste out of the spleen they fed Nigerians for 16 yrs.
Enjoy your Black day, please

Secondus too dull, it would have been easier to manage the omisore situation before or after the crisis.

Election could have ended on Saturday

This is just the beginning of what the west did to this country by chasing away GEJ... God will keep on rewarding you ppl with bad leaders like Pharoah... Lol.... Una never see anything...God will deal with all yorubas both at state level and federal level #OsunRecry

Black day for pdp and there supporters

Apc is doomed

On a serious note, this Adeleke is never qualified to govern a local government not to talk of a state.


Just imagine! A wanna be governor with no sensible qualifications.


He only has PHD in choreography.

PDP Sabi wail sha

Lol this same PDP forgot they Did worse during 16 years of them ruling, I guess APC is paying them back in their own coin.

See this one, you that come from the South East controlled by Pdp, don't you all worship Fayose here? Fayose that is the worst Governor in the SW.

Aregbe that you guys insult has completed more projects than all South East Governors, their predecessors and your ancestors put together. It's only in the East that people like Ikpeazu and TA Orji can be Governors.

You vote miscreants and nonentities as your leaders and run into the SW to enjoy good leadership.

God pls divide dis country.....Igbos wants to move forward...PDP and APC Na d same ppl..I thought APC came for change rather for revenge...now I can call Jonathan hero of democracy

PDP is finished. Without rigging, they can't win anything.

I finally lost hope in the future of our this country. Nigeria can never be good. Revolution will still take place sooner or later.

So are you implying that your people that voted en masse for GEJ are 'blessed' with 'good'/better leaders?? I don't get.
