The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has declared that a vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC, is a vote for the continuation of the killing of citizens across the country.
Secondus said this on Thursday in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, while presenting the flag of the party to the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Prof. Olusola Eleka, for the July 14, 2018 governorship election.
In a statement by his media aide, Mr. Ike Abonyi, Secondus warned the people of Ekiti State against voting for the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
He said Fayemi would give their land to herdsmen.
According to him, Feyemi and APC had nothing good to offer Ekiti people because he had been rejected for non-performance.
“You know those behind the killings in the country; if you vote for APC you are voting for killers and herdsmen to take your lands.
“They are killing and arresting our leaders, they can never arrest everybody, you must not be afraid of their intimidation. Cast and protect your votes until it’s counted and result declared,” he said.
Secondus said the victory of PDP in Ekiti State on July 14 would amount to the beginning of a rescue mission.
“From Ekiti, our victory dance will go to Osun in September in an onward journey to Abuja in February next year to complete the rescue mission for the country,” he added.
Five presidential aspirants of the party were at the occasion.
