BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus on Tuesday declared that the challenges being faced by Nigerians especially in the area of economy and security are due largely to the poor governance delivery of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Secondus also said the present distress situation Nigerians are going through under the APC administration will be over if the PDP regains victory at the election tribunal.
The PDP National Chairman, who stated these when he received a delegation of The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPU), led by its Deputy Director General, Mr Zhou GUOHUI at the PDP’s National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, said Nigeria is going through a lot of challenges like never before.
A statement by the media office of the PDP National Chairman signed by Ike Abonyi, quoted Prince Secondus as having told his visitors that Nigeria and China share a lot in common especially in the area of population where China with over 1.4 billion persons are the largest concentration of human beings in the World while Nigeria with over 200million people are the largest concentration of blacks in the World.
Secondus said that the population of China makes it imperative that no nation can ignore her given the volume of trade involved in relating with the country.
He said that the PDP would cherish deepening relationship with China because there is a lot to learn from the country that would help in the infrastructural development of Nigeria.
The PDP National chairman noted that the relationship between China and Nigeria was long opened by the PDP administration when it came to power in 1999 as it sustained democracy for 16 years uninterrupted.
Secondus commended the Chinese government for earmarking about $60billion dollars for the development of Africa and expressed the hope that Nigeria will benefit handsomely from the gesture.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation, who led five others had explained Chinese interest in Africa particularly Nigeria and how China has strived to maintain good working relationship between the two countries.
