The embattled national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has said that he would not resign from his current position. This was disclosed on Monday in a statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, shortly after some members of PDP staged a protest to call for his removal at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.


The statement read in part: “The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said that he will not resign his position.


“Prince Secondus said in a short statement from his media office that nothing so far warrants his resignation from the party position and those tiny minority calling for his resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country his offense why he should resign.”


The protesters claimed Secondus is leading the party towards destruction and they carried placards with inscriptions such as “Uche Secondus Must Go”, “We cannot afford to lose more governors”, “We have lost confidence in your chairmanship” among others.


The protesters stated that the party has lost plenty leaders, governors, National Assembly members, ordinary members to the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to Secondus’s leadership style.


Meanwhile, the board of trustees (BoT) of the party has set up a committee comprising of governors and former ministers, to provide solutions to the party’s crisis.
