The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus appears to be eyeing the 2023 elections and scheming how the party can reclaim its former position in the country.
This much was clear as the party’s peace moves in Ogun state was initiated.
The Peoples Democratic Party chairman also said that more people have been killed under the Muhammadu Buhari government than during the 1970 civil war.
Secondus made the claim during a meeting of the Ogun State wing of the party which held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, on Wednesday.
The PDP chair said his party would stop violent deaths in the country if elected in the 2023 polls.
He said, “For how long can we continue to be oppressed, intimidated and continue to kill ourselves? So many killings now in the country than we had during the civil war.
“The people that have been killed since the inception of the APC government are many that you can’t place records, because we wake up to hear news of killings on a daily basis.”
On his plan to ensure the party is united ahead of the 2023 elections, Secondus said Ogun had taken the lead towards the move to unite the PDP in other states.
He also noted the party would hold its ward, local government area and state congresses next year.
He said, “Since Ogun state has started this unification move, other states will follow in the interest of our great party. We must all come together after we have passed through pains.”
A leader of the PDP in the state, Oladipupo Adebutu, noted that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Dapo Abiodun would not have won the March 9 governorship poll if he had represented the party.
