More Trouble As NWC Members Want Secondus Out

The fate of the embattled national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Prince Uche Secondus worsened at the weekend after six of nine members of the National Working Committee, NWC called on him to resign.

The resolution of the NWC members came at a meeting where the issues facing Secondus were reviewed by his fellow members of the NWC.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that six of the deputies who are not members of the NWC had earlier tendered their resignation on the claim that Secondus has mismanaged the goodwill of the party and was incapable of leading the party to victory in 2023.

A statement issued following the meeting of the NWC members on the Secondus affair said:

“Sequel to the meeting held on the 3rd of August 2021 at legacy house where members of the National working committee (NWC) sat and decided that a meeting of the National working committee (NWC) should be held on the 8th of August 2021 at Hilton to further deliberate on the matter bedeviling the party, the meeting held and extensively deliberated, 9 members of the National working committee (NWC)  agreed that the National chairman Prince Uche Secondus has grossly mismanaged the party, highly incompetent, factionalised the party and has lost the confidence of members of the party.

“The matter of his resignation was put to vote , 6 members voted that he should resign and 3 members abstained from voting, therefore the meeting resolved to forward the resolution taken on the 8th day of August to the governors forum, the BOT, the national assembly caucus of both house of reps and the senate.
