Nigeria’s Economy Collapsing– PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday lamented that the nation’s economy is gradually sliding and getting into a state of collapse.
The Party Acting National Chairman, Uche Secondus, stated this during the special interdenominational thanksgiving, held at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, to celebrate the Supreme Court judgment that affirmed the election of Akwa Ibom Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
Secondus, who did not mince words in condemning the All Progressive Congress (APC)- led Federal Government in the management of the economy, said Nigeria was in dire need of the PDP.
He warned the federal government not to turn states controlled by the PDP into police states where the people would be harassed and intimidated by security agencies.
He said, “Nigeria is in dire need of the PDP. You can see the difference. The difference is very clear. Eight months ago, the exchange rate was N160 but today the exchange rate is N313.
“Eight months ago, vessels of ships of goods and services were competing how to enter into our harbour and seaports but none today.
“Our economy is sliding and it is getting to a point of collapse. The political situation in the country is in coma and we challenge the APC-led government that it is time for them to realise that they need the people and they do not need the guns because we are not in the military.
“We warn the APC-led government that Nigeria should not be a police state where our states are being harassed, our stakeholders are being intimidated. Enough is enough.”
He, however, dedicated the victory of PDP in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa and Abia States to God, saying if it had not been the Lord who was on their side the enemies would have captured these states.
At the thanksgiving were Governors Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa).
