He said that critical stakeholders and the international community were worried at the debt profile of the present administration which has risen to such astronomical level amidst huge corruption in the system.

According to him,” I crave your indulgence to stand up against all the evil plots of the APC by collecting your PVC and using it judiciously to vote them out in all elections in 2019.

Prince Secondus said that the country was under siege with the APC government harassing and intimidating critical organs of the government, the Judiciary, the Legislature and individuals in its mission to cow and suppress dissenting voices to their undemocratic activities.

He commended the people for their commitment to the party and urged them to conduct themselves in the most civilized manner as demanded by the rules of democracy
