His position is under threat following agitation to replace him with a Northern to pave the way for emergence of a Southerner as the party’s presidential flag bearer in that election.
Secondus was elected national chairman on December 10, 2017after a keenly contested election at the Eagles Square, Abuja.
Secondus and members of his National Working Committee are due to complete their term in office before the next general election. This is just as some powerful individuals and groups within the party are working round the clock to ensure that Atiku is returned as the 2023 presidential flag-bearer of the opposition party.
A source said: “It is absolutely wrong to say northern PDP leaders are against the zoning arrangement or are opposed to the party producing a southerner as presidential candidate. “We have examined the issues and we have come to the realization that if we listen to ourselves and return to the ways of our founding fathers, there is no issue we cannot resolve. The zoning issue is not just about the presidency as far as PDP is concerned. We usually use zoning to balance power in the party since 199.
