The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party PDP Prince Uche Secondus has urged the party as well as other interest groups across the country to ensure it dislodges the ruling All Progressives Congress APC from power in 2019.

Prince Secondus was speaking yesterday at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the party and other political parties as well as the R-APC, a splinter group from the APC.

The chairman while calling on the new merged group to be strong, steadfast and courageous said it cannot be cowed.

“Just last week, the APC conquest regime came up with Executive Order which all political watchers including civil society groups liken to Decree 2 of the military era.

“We know why they are doing this on the eve of a general election because they know the people have turned their back on them, but they want to retain power at all costs including cowing us down.

“But we cannot be cowed, if our heroes past had been cowed down we would not have democracy or a nation today,” he said.

It would be recalled that the PDP on Monday signed an MoU with the reformed All Progressives Congress as well as more than 30 other political parties in Abuja to oust incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.
