Federal Government Has No Idea On How To Handle Security Challenges – Secondus

…Says Rivers state election’s victory is God’s miracle.

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government has lost focus and idea of how to handle the security challenges confronting the nation.

Secondus noted that the security problems are overwhelming the government owing to the fact that it is detached from the people through its isolationist system of governance.

The PDP National Chairman, who spoke in Port Harcourt, Rivers state at a “Victory Thanksgiving Service” by Governor Neysom Wike on Saturday, therefore advised President Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to involve State Governments and other relevant stakeholders in any strategy aimed at tackling the worsening security situation in the country.

In his words; “You cannot isolate the people you govern and expect to get the necessary cooperation and support needed to tackle issues like security.

“That’s why they must try to carry the state governors along if they hope to decisively tackle the security challenges.”

Commenting on what happened in Rivers state during the governorship election, Secondus said those who played god with the election did not realize that there is a real God, who was in charge in the state.

He said; “They were in Abuja playing God, sending military, saying it will never happen but they forgot that nobody can surmount the army of God.”

Secondus praised the people of Rivers state for standing up in defence of democracy, pointing out that the supreme sacrifice of deaths and other stress they were subjected to during the election cannot be in vain.

He charged those who are still in doubt about the miracle of God in deciding who gets what in political power struggle to look at what happened in Rivers state during the election and learn.

Secondus led some members of the National Working Committee (NWC), of the PDP to the “Victory Thanks Giving” that featured praise and worships with various men of God drawn from various Christian denominations.
