There is no plan to remove me from office – Uche Secondus

By Oluchi Ihediuche

National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has denied claims making rounds of removing him from office before his tenure expires.

Secondus, in a statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, said contrary to allegations that he had not ‘managed the party well’, his leadership had, in the last three years, increased the number of PDP-controlled states from 11 to 16.

“Aside delivering internal democracy, which it promised the party when it got the mandate in 2017, Secondus’ leadership has also grown the party to control 16 from 11 states when it took over.

He said recently the National Executive Committee (NEC) praised the National Working Committee (NWC) for being the first in recent times to “render full account of the party’s finances and for the timely submission of audited account to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).”

He further added that’s the NWC and Aminu Tambuwal are working assiduously strengthen the party

“Recently, NWC set up a high-powered peace and reconciliation committee, headed by former Senate president, Bukola Saraki, with another former Senate president, Anyim Pius Anyim, as member with other top leaders to reconcile aggrieved party members.

“In addition, Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State is working closely with the Secondus-led NWC in all ramifications to grow and strengthen the party,”
