PDP Crisis Deepens As NWC Member Gives Secondus Three Days To Resign

The crisis engulfing the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Priince Uche Secondus has deepened with a member of the National Working Committee, NWC joining the call for his resignation.

The National Youth leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Hon Udo Okoye the escalated the crisis for Secondus when he addressed a press conference demanding the resignation of the national chairman after seven deputies in the National Executive Committee, NEC tendered their letters of resignation.

Okoye said he was giving Secondus and party elders three days within which to compel Secondus to resign failing which he would resign his position as National Youth Leader.

Okoye by his action became the first of the 12 member working committee to sacrifice his position for the removal of Secondus.

Giving his reason for the removal of Secondus as PDP national chairman, Okoye said he had crippled the running of the party fuming that he had nothing to offer the party.

He said: “Today, I have asked him (Secondus) in our NWC meeting to resign his position as the chairman of this party because he cannot lead this party to victory.

“I am also asking the leaders, the governors, the founding fathers, the youth, the women to rise up to rescue our party.

“I am here to make it very clear to all Nigerians that if Secondus does not resign from the party, I am going to leave the party for him.

“The governors, if they don’t wade into this matter right now, I assure Nigerians that within the next three, four days, my (resignation) letter will be made public.

“Seven deputies have already resigned their positions today because of Secondus. Many more people are also going to resign in the NWC because of Secondus,” Okoye said of the threat to the PDP.

“Right now, I can tell you that not less than eight to ten persons within the NWC members are very aggrieved with Secondus,” he said as he added that the NWC could consider impeaching the chairman if he refuses to resign.
