Uche Secondus has hailed the Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki and
Kwara State Governor, Abudulfatah Ahmed for dumping the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Secondus said that democracy was the huge beneficiary from the actions
of the Senate President and the Kwara State Governor because the
on-going political realignment would help to deepen democracy in the
country.
He noted that the duo were abnitio not supposed to be in APC but
having been there due to a circumstance, events in the ruling party
since 2015, does not encourage democrats like Saraki and Ahmed to
continue retaining their membership of such "undemocratic body".
A statement by his spokesman, Ike Abonyi, Tuesday night read: "Saraki
is hero of our current democracy having gone through all the
humiliations in defence of legislative independence, freedom and rule
of law."
"They have done everything to humiliate and cow him into submission
but he did not yield as he defended democracy all through
"Dr Saraki and his colleagues in the parliament tried their best to
curtail the dictatorial tendencies of the executive and it was for
that they are being hounded."
Secondus urged other democrats still staying in APC, to note that
democracy would be better served by their exit as "Nigerians were very
well determined to not only save our democracy but indeed the
country."
He assured all lovers of civil liberty and rule of law in the country
that "the rebranded and repositioned main opposition PDP is now well
disposed to provide direction for the sustenance of the nation's
democracy."
