Secondus also claimed the presidency was arm-twisting the Independent National Electoral Commission against Atiku Abubakar to prevent him from reclaiming his stolen mandate.
Secondus decried the killings in in Zamfara, Benue, Taraba and called on the government to face this problem.
He said the eectorsal commission has refused to allow Atiku’s legal team inspect election materials saying it was a plot by the presidency and INEC to frustrate Atiku.
The PDP chairman said: “Nigerian leaders should speak up for the country before Nigeria slides into something else. People are being murdered everyday and Buhari is going on private visit. Nigeria is in crisis.
“The President has embarked on a private trip to the UK to spend 11 days without writing the National Assembly. He has not asked the Vice President to act. We condenm it.”
“The presidency is also armtwisting INEC. INEC has no reason to stop our legal team from inspecting the election materials. Our politics and governance here is sentimental.”
