2019: Ex-presidents in agreement with us that Buhari must go —PDP
National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has said that the party is consulting widely to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari is not re-elected as president of Nigeria in 2019.
He said that his party has continued to rally various interest groups and political stakeholders for synergy to regain power in 2019 elections, adding that some former presidents and former leaders of Nigeria were in agreement that Buhari must not continue as president beyond 2019 for the interest of the nation.
Secondus disclosed this during an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party on Thursday in Abuja.
He said, “Our consultations have taken us to meet with various interest groups, who are willing to do business with us. I can report to you that it has been very fruitful. We expect in the coming days to have a broader political family, working hard to rescue this democracy and our beloved country from the hands of APC.”

He then urged members of the party and other political parties to join forces to sack Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) from power.
He said, “We, therefore, invite our brothers, sisters, youths and women from other political parties in this platform to join us to rescue our country that is in distress, socially, politically, economically and security-wise.”
