Embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus,Monday rebuffed his critics and gave reasons why he would not resign his post.
Seven members of the party’s Executive Council which he lead as the main opposition party in the country, last month resigned their positions and created an ack ward situation that forced some leaders of the party to ask for his resignation.
But Mr. Ike Abonyi, Special Assistant on Media to Secondus, said in a statement that nothing so far warrants him resigning from his post.
Rather, he urged those fighting against Secondus to come clean and tell party members across the country his offense and why he should resign.
The terse statement read: “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.
“He said he will remain focussed 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.”
