We’re ready for vibrant opposition in 2018 – Secondus

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has assured Nigerians that the PDP would play robust and vibrant roles in the nation’s polity in 2018.

Secondus, in a new year message he issued on Saturday in Abuja, asserted that the worst was over for the PDP.

He said that the opposition party was ready and re-energised to play its role in the polity to deepen Nigeria’s democracy.

“2017 was tough for us but the worst is over; we are now more than ever determined to take power back in Nigeria because the writing on the wall is clear that the ruling party cannot cope.

“We sympathize with Nigerians for the hardship they have been going through in the hand of ruling party but assure them that there is a light at the tunnel.”

Secondus said that having gone through the political furnace, the PDP had learnt its lesson and was now refined and focussed to return to power.

He appealed to all critical stakeholders in the nation’s democracy, particularly the media and civil society groups, to stand up to their responsibilities and hold the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration accountable.
