SECONDUS’ FATE SPLITS PDP GOVERNORS

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the House of Representatives on Monday demanded the immediate resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus.

In a statement issued by the lawmakers, they insisted that the chairmanship’s resignation would be in the best interest of the party.

The caucus charged the PDP Board of Trustees (BOT) and Governors to ensure the immediate and firm resolution of the current challenges rocking the party.

Meanwhile, PDP Governors seem to be at crossroads, at an emergency meeting Monday, owing to their inability to reach a consensus on finding a lasting solution to the
crisis, which is tearing the party apart by the day.

The meeting which held at the Akwa lbom State Governor’s Lodge in
Asokoro, Abuja, was convened by the governors to resolve the crisis caused
by the increasing calls for the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.

Attendees at the meeting were Governors; Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto),
Oluseyi Makinde (Oyo), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), and
Godwin Obaseki (Edo).

Others were Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Douye Diri (Bayelsa) and Darius Ishaku (Taraba).

Addressing Journalists at the end of the meeting, Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum, Amimu Tambuwal, disclosed that the Governors discussed the issue extensively and emphasized that they have collectively resolved to continue to work together in unity.

“This meeting will continue tomorrow (Tuesday) with other stakeholders.

Very soon, Nigerians and indeed, all of you will hear our resolution.

But we are working towards resolving all issues as a family.

By the grace of God, we are going to achieve that” the PDP Governors’ Forum said.
