The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) Prince Uche Secondus has felicitated with Nigerians on this year’s anniversary of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and prayed that the peace, love, and joy of Christmas will energize us to surmount our economic and security challenges and build a better country.

Prince Secondus reviewed the political crises ravaging some states since the inception of this new administration and cautioned the political class to be wary of actions that may constitute a threat to our nascent democracy and national security.

“With particular reference to the crisis in Rivers State, the former PDP boss contended that the Intervention of President Bola Tinubu must be by the spirit and letter of our constitution for it to be implementable.

According to him, “There are creative ways a political conflict can be resolved if and when the President acts like a statesman and the President of all Nigerians.

He insisted that Mr President would have violated this sacred role if he acted in such a way and manner that gave an unconstitutional advantage to his political party, the APC, and an individual political godfather. This is the scenario the unenforceable agreement reached at the instance of Mr President purports to foster!

Prince Secondus joins other well-meaning Nigerians in the clarion call on Mr President and relevant stakeholders to act in the interest of peace in Rivers State and ensure genuine, unbiased, generally acceptable, and enforceable reconciliation of the crisis

Finally, Prince Secondus commended the good people of Rivers State for comporting themselves peacefully and applying civil engagement in the face of this wanton provocation and wished them and indeed all Nigerians Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
