Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), once again, challenged the Federal Government to drag him to court if it has evidence on allegation of corruption.

Secondus spoke through his media adviser, Ike Abonyi, and accused the federal government of blackmail aimed at distracting him in his assignment of leading the opposition party to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Secondus  accused the government and the APC of desperation to frame him up with “some blatant fabrications ostensibly to distract him from carrying out his responsibility of rebuilding his party.”

He boasted that the plot will fail “because Nigerians have come to know the antics of the drowning government.”

He said the minister of Information claimed Secondus collected the money on February 19, 2015, while the EFCC said it was April 16.

He also said the government claimed the money was collected on February 9, 2015 and in another version  EFCC claimed February 2, 2015.

The PDP chairman challenged the government to take him to court, as, according to him, the allegation was false and designed  to tarnish his image for trying to rebrand his party.

Denying ever collecting money, Seconds said:  “I never collected any money from anywhere. I didn’t ask anyone to collect money for me as well and I didn’t sign any voucher to collect any money.

He accused APC of frustration, and said the ruling party knows Nigerians have lost confidence in it.
