The fate of the Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Uche Secondus, on Monday remained uncertain as a meeting of the party’s governors ended in a stalemate.
“The matter of his resignation was put to vote, six members voted that he should resign and three members abstained from voting. Therefore the meeting resolved to forward the resolution taken on the 8th day of August to the governors’ forum, the BOT, the national assembly caucus of both House of Representatives and the Senate.”an ally of the national chairman, described the meeting as illegal.
“It is therefore of grave concern, and indeed, very sad to read the above position purportedly taken by some distinguished members of the NWC in utter disdain and violation of clear extant provisions of our constitution. But in a statement on Monday, the House of Representatives Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, faulted the anti-Secondus lawmakers.
Dickson described as illegal,l the meeting convened by the NWC members, saying only the national chairman could convene such a meeting. “It is part of the scheme to call a dog a bad name to hang it. The general public should note that the statement signed by some members: three members of the working committee and three vice-chairmen of the party does not constitute a valid resolution of the National Working Committee.
He also faulted a statement by the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives, who on Sunday asked Secondus to resign.
