By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
The National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus, has vowed never to resign from his position.
Mr. Secondus was reacting to a call by some PDP caucus at the House of Representatives asking him to “honourably” resign from his position. The calls for Secondus’ resignation came as PDP Governors met in Abuja on Monday to discuss recent events that threaten the unity and existence of the party.
At the PDP National Secretariat on Monday, some party members also held placards calling for Secondus’ resignation.
Reacting in a statement issued by his special assistant on Media, The PDP leader said that nothing so far has warranted his resignation, while urging those fighting him to come clean.
He said such people must tell members of the party across the country his offence and why he should resign.
“The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said that he will not resign his position,” Abonyi said.
He said “those tiny minority calling for his resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country his offence why he should resign.”
The embattled PDP Chairman, however, said he would remain focused and committed to the ideals of the party which he swore to protect and defend upon his election to lead this great party 44 months ago.
