National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has declared that he will not resign from his position after the House of Representatives caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday, called for his immediate resignation.
Secondus in a statement by his Special Adviser on media, Mr Ike Abonyi, said the minority calling for his resignation should open up on his offence.
The statement reads: “The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said that he will not resign his position.
“Prince Secondus said in a short statement from his media office that nothing so far warrants his resignation from the party position and those tiny minority calling for his resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country his offence why he should resign.
“He 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.”
The Caucus calling for his resignation said that his stay in office for the remaining three months of his tenure is injurious as they expressed that it will do “grave injustice” to the opposition party.
Meanwhile, youths of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday, joined their voices to call for the removal of the party’s national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus as they marched across major streets of Abuja, bearing placards with inscriptions, “We have lost confidence in your chairmanship”, “Uche Secondus Must Go”.
They called on him to heed the call and resign honourably in order to give way for the repositioning of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
