Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the South South  have vowed to give Buhari a tough fight in next presidential election saying they have resolved to work in unison to take over the presidency next year.

The South South PDP leaders said the APC-led Federal Government had failed, destroyed and destabilised the nation’s security infrastructure, economy and made the country slide into unprecedented suffering.

Speaking during a PDP South South Zonal Executive Council meeting yesterday at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Port Harcourt, they said it was in the interest of Nigeria for APC to be shown the way out.

National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, said, “This crisis is no longer a laughing matter; the country is coming to an end and we must rescue the nation.”

Secondus said only PDP governors were performing, while their APC counterparts had failed their respective states. He also added that ministers in the Buhari administration had failed to perform.

“Come 2019, Nigeria will be liberated from the hands of the APC. The APC has lost ground in all the six geo-political zones. We have to take one final step to sack APC’s vengeful government,” Secondus said.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, who declared the meeting open, stated that PDP leaders would do everything possible to ensure that the party emerged victorious in 2019.

He said, “For us, what we want is free and fair elections for Nigerians to determine the future of the country; Nigerians are tired of the APC.”
