Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, dismissed reports linking him with an ongoing plot to sack the Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The speculation about his alleged role to oust Secondus as the party’s National Chairman has been gaining ground since his last visit to Port Harcourt, Rivers State. It thickened on Tuesday in Abuja when some national officers of the party resigned.
The spokesman stated: “It is a beer parlour talk, it is also a mischief. Why will a former Vice President be behind the plot to sack PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus? What will be his interest? “He made the trip to Port Harcourt, similar one to Delta. And he has more in the offing. Why will he promote peace and stability in the party and be behind moves to sack Secondus? It’s ridiculous for anyone to talk about this.”
Also yesterday, Secondus met with the aggrieved members of the PDP national leadership and begged them to allow peace to reign.
