SAMUEL OGIDAN, Abuja

Protesters yesterday on Monday stormed the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demanding the resignation of the party National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.

The protesters, under the aegis of Save PDP Group and Coalition of PDP Youth Groups, were seen holding banners and placards while chanting “Secondus Must Go.”

Addressing newsmen, the leader of the protest, Comrade Tamunotonye Inioribo, accused Secondus of polarising the party for his own selfish interest, adding that he’s responsible for the defection of three governors and dozens of Senators from the party.

He lamented that the Governors’ Forum, National Working Committee and other organs of the party are divided under Secondus.

Tamunotonye also accused the Chairman of creating factions in states for his own selfish ambition, revealing that Secondus crippled every department of the party.

Reacting to this development, Secondus said he will not resign his position.

Secondus, in a statement by his Media Aide, Ike Abonyi said nothing so far warrants his resignation from the party position, adding that those tiny minority calling for his resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country his offence 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. (Daily Independent)
