Femi Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party and a former aviation minister, has issued a statement congratulating Prince Uche Secondus, the newly elected national chairman of the PDP.
In an e-mail to The Trent on Sunday, December 10, 2017, Chief Fani-Kayode also commended former President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Abubakar Atiku, and the out-going national caretaker committee chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi for their inspiring speeches at the PDP National Convention on Saturday.
“Congratulations to my friend and brother Prince Uche Secondus, the newly-elected National Chairman of our great party the PDP, and to all our other newly-elected party officials,” Fani-Kayode said.
“I also commend and congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Abubakar Atiku, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and others on their profound and inspiring speeches at the convention.”
Prince Uche Secondus, a former acting national chairman of PDP, garnered 2,000 votes as against the 230 votes by his closest rival, former minister of education, Prof. Tunde Adeniran.
The two-time minister also described the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC government as a “vicious, corrupt, deceitful” entity who has “persecuted, marginalised, humiliated, demonised, massacred and pauperised” Nigerians and called for the PDP to unite to remove the Buhari regime in 2019.
“We must now all set aside our differences and prepare to face the monumental challenge that lay ahead. We must be ready and prepared to fight for a greater cause and to stand against against a vicious, corrupt, deceitful, relentless and rapacious enemy that has divided our country, that has destroyed our economy and that has persecuted, marginalised, humiliated, demonised, massacred and pauperised our people.
“Together we shall ‘change the change’ and ‘burn the brooms’ in 2019,” he wrote.
“Together we shall raise the PDP flag in every part of this nation and send Buhari and his evil APC government back to hell where they came from,” he ended his statement.
