Newsonline reports that Uche Secondus, the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is responsible for the indignity faced by Nigerians in the diaspora.
Secondus said this in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, on Thursday while reacting to the assault of a Nigerian diplomat by immigration officials in Indonesia.
According to the PDP Chairman, no Nigerian should be dehumanised in such a manner abroad.
He called on the Federal Government to apply the stiffest allowable penalty on Indonesia over the incident.
The statement partly read: “Secondus, who expressed deep discontent on the matter, charged Nigerian government to apply no constraints in responding to the unprovoked and unwarranted manhandling of the Nigerian diplomat.
“No Nigerian should receive such dehumanizing treatment, more so to a diplomat who enjoys some privileges while on duty to any country.
“He said every reasonable step should be taken including recalling the Nigerian Ambassador to Indonesia and/or the expulsion of their ambassador here if adequate remorse and commensurate punishment is not meted out to those Indonesian officials.”
