PDP Crisis: I’ll Not Resign As National Chairman-Secondus
The embattled national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has declared that he will not resign his position, the strident calls on him to vacate the office notwithstanding.
This was as he said he has not committed any offence to warrant his stepping aside from office and challenged this opposed to him to come out with proofs of his offence.
He said this in response to calls from several quarters among the top echelon of the party to resign as the national chairman, in the face of the crisis rocking the party.
The leadership of the main opposition party has been divided over Secondus remaining as the PDP national chairman, just as the majority of its national vice chairmen and some governors elected on its platform are hell-bent on seeing his exit from the topmost position of the party.
Secondus, in a short statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, said nothing so far warrants his resignation as the PDP national chairman.
He challenged those he described as “the tiny minority calling for his resignation” to “come clean and tell party members across the country his offense why he should resign.”
Secondus, in the statement, said “he will remain focussed and committed to the ideals of the party which he swore to protect and defend upon his election to lead this great party 44 months ago.”
