PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus Reveals Why He Visited Obasanjo

Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that he met former President Olusegun in Abeokuta to discuss the country’s problems.

According to NEWS DIRECT, Secondus was meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.

After the meeting, which lasted more than an hour, the PDP Chairman told reporters that he came to Obasanjo as an elder statesman to advise the current government.

“I am here with the members of my team and as well as the PDP executives in Ogun State to tap from the wealth of Baba’s knowledge as a statesman. It been very difficult lately because Baba is a global personality, resolving issues across the world. In fact, the last place I learnt Baba visited was Afghanistan, despite the situation in that country, he went there and came back alive.

“So, my team and I are very grateful and we give glory to God. We have discussed Nigeria. Nigeria first before any other thing. Yes, we belong to a political party, but if we don’t have a country, where do we practice democracy? We need to have a peaceful country where democracy can strive and at this point, we need Chief Obasanjo to come in with solutions.

“We are aware of the insecurity, the poor economy, banditry, kidnapping all over the country; and we can’t continue to watch without reaching out to the elders so that they can come to gather and advise the present government. That is the duty of a statesman, Secondus explained.

Obasanjo stated that, despite the fact that Nigeria’s situation is dire, it is not hopeless.

He urged Nigerians to put their differences aside and think of ways to work together to prevent the country from crumbling.
