The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has said that shoddy arrangement for this election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is a deliberate predetermined agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari to cling on to power even when it’s obvious to him that Nigerians want him out. He, therefore, called on the Chairman of the Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu to resign immediately. The party boss warned that the opposition will not accept anything short of a well organized electoral process devoid of manipulation, harassment and intimidation of voters and the opposition particularly members of the PDP.
