The embattled National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has vowed not to resign from his position.
He said this in a terse press statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Ike Abonyi.
There is a crisis rocking the opposition party as political bigwigs in the party jostle for shares of its structure ahead of the 2023 polls.
Secondus is battling to retain his chairmanship position as Wike spearheaded moves to ensure his removal before the party’s national convention.
When a meeting was summoned by the Board of Trustees to find an amicable solution to the crisis rocking the party, there was a clash between Secondus, and the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike.
The statement read, “The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said that he will not resign his position.
Prince Secondus said 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 offense why he should resign.
