TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are currently making moves to dissolve the National Work­ing Committee (NWC) of the party headed by the national chairman, Prince Uche Sec­ondus, Daily Independent has gathered.

However, Secondus, who does not want to take any chances, is said to be fighting back.

The governors, led by Riv­ers State governor, Nyesom Wike, are also working at con­stituting a National Caretaker Committee that will pilot the affairs of the party until a na­tional convention is held.

According to a credible source in the party, other governors with Wike in the move to dissolve the NWC are governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri; Udom Em­manuel of Akwa Ibom and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

He said the governors, who are worried about the defections in the party and the urgent need to reposition it ahead of the 2023 general elections, believe there is a need to put in a place a new set of executives “who can stop the hemorrhage and save the party from dying”.

When reminded that few weeks ago, the National Exec­utive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) both passed votes of confidence in the national leadership of the party, our source said the governors’ action is the recent development in the party, es­pecially as the nose-diving fortune of the party does not justify the continued stay of the Secondus-led exco.

Speaking further, he said the move by the governors to dissolve the NWC may not sail through as it does not have the backing of the party’s BoT.

“The governors cannot summon a NEC meeting. Only the national chairman of the party has powers to do so. Do you think Secondus will summon a NEC meeting where the issue of his remov­al will be the major issue?” he asked.

Daily Independent also gathered that Secondus who is aware of the plot by the governors to oust him is also fighting back by reaching out to them on the need for unity and stability in the party.

While other governors, who are displeased with Sec­ondus had chosen to remain silent on the matter, Wike who is known to be fearless had publicly attacked the party leadership at several fora.

Wike, who played a key role in Secondus emergence as the national chairman, has not hidden his disdain for the NWC and had called them sev­eral derogatory names such as ‘tax payers’.

He also said that instead of focusing on strategies on how to take advantage of the alleged growing disenchant­ment with the APC govern­ment, the PDP-NWC was busy creating crisis among governors.

“The present National Working Committee is not interested or doing anything to take over the realms of gov­ernment in 2023. When your interest is to remain in power, you are no longer interested in winning election,” he had said.

The Rivers State governor also called Secondus a liar in Abuja during the 60th birth­day celebration of former governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke.

He said: “If he (Secondus) had shown leadership in Cross River, our party would not have had the problem we have today.

“The national chairman said we need good leadership in the country, but if you don’t show good leadership, the party cannot produce good leaders. That is the truth of the matter.

“We talk about character.

What is leadership? Lead­ership is about character, boldness, selflessness and audacity.

“As a leader, you must have character. Not to speak white in the morning and you speak black in the evening. Is that leadership? What are we telling our youths? We are talking about the future of this country.”


Speaking with Daily In­dependent, a member of the NWC from the Northern part of the country, said it is unfair for the governors to lay the blame of the defec­tions of state governors on the doorstep of the national chairman.

He said if for anything, the governors should take the blame for failing to persuade their colleagues not to leave the party for the APC.

“I am happy they are not accusing the national chair­man or any member of the NWC of corruption. What they are hammering on is defection. But what do they expect the national chairman to do when these people have made up their minds to leave the party. Can he tie them down with a rope?

“If you recall, the gover­nors had several meetings with their colleagues in Ebo­nyi, Cross River and Zamfara. When the market fire incident happened in Gusau, Zamfara State, APC governors donat­ed N50 million but PDP gov­ernors donated N100 million, yet the governor still defect­ed to APC. Why should you blame the national chairman for that? When the governors can’t stop their colleagues from leaving, what magic can the NWC do?

“I am appealing to the governors to fund the party. That is the way to constitute a serious opposition against a ruling party. Since 2019, the party has not received any fund from the governors, no monthly dues or whatsoever. How do they want the party to survive?” he asked.

Also speaking with Daily Independent, Chief Charles Idahosa, a foundation mem­ber of the PDP, said Secondus has performed creditably well and has the capacity to lead the party to the 2023 general elections.

He, however, said the problem in the PDP, espe­cially between Secondus and Governor Wike, is a struggle between a godfather and his political godson, which, ac­cording him, was the same scenario that played out in the last governorship election in Edo State between Governor Godwin Obaseki and Com­rade Adams Oshiomhole.

“I think Secondus is up to the task of leading the party to the next general elections. He has done very well as the national chairman of PDP.

“I think the problem he has is the same problem we have in Edo State where you rely on a godfather to get to a particular position and the godfather wants to permanently have a hold on you. That is exactly what happened between Governor Obaseki and Adams Oshiom­hole. That is what is happen­ing to Secondus now.

“Secondus got to his po­sition as national chairman because of the support of a godfather. What we are wit­nessing now in PDP is a fight between a godfather and a godson who wants his free­dom”, he said.

Secondus has outlived his usefulness as the party Chairman, better for him to bow out now when the ovation is loudest or be rubbished like the former APC chair, Adams Oshiomole

Wike is fighting air.. a time waster and overzealous disciple

Secoudus will deal with him... both the Vice President and senate will elude him.. if he’s not careful

Secondus is still a useful element in pdp .. and there’s no ovation anywhere. and not the cause of party fortune

He will leave wen time is right.. he’s serving a purpose and playing it well.
Even in a hundred years he can’t be rubbish like Oshiomole

You know nothing about pdp.

Dissolve PDP. The chop and destroy party, The Executors of contract on paper party, The tax collectors, The party that brought boko haram to Nigeria .. Jegudu jera's ...

Fulani we slaves. We igbos don't care about zoo politics

The way Secondus is running PDP, it's like he is on APC payroll

Una problem

This man is on a mission to destroy PDP & won’t stop until he is finished.

Oh my, so Wike want to be vice president lmao
Just like the foolish Jagabandit of Lagos this one can not be anything. Both of them are cursed fools

The same people.

Ok

The governor's are just in control of everything.
The party members have no say?
And they all fighting to protect personal interest.
So unfortunate the kind of politics been played in the major parties.
Seconds should leave honourably with his team.
His maker has backed off.

Though Wike get loud mouth oh.....but let's be realistic here.....if u are in a party and governors senators azin bigwigs of the party keep defecting...how will u feel??
No be unna d shout say Buhari must go?? Bcus things aren't going too well...so same with the PDP party

They should remove that secondus from wadata plaza, he might be working very well but we are not just feeling the impact of his administration.

Hehehe.

Secondus,the most weakest opposition party chairman I have seen.

Under his watch PDP has turned to a toothless bulldog.

Gossiping like market women.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

Secondus,the most weakest opposition party chairman I have seen.

What will u have him do
Sometimes is not just about criticising pipo...if it were u...what will u have done different??

The looting and evil party that put our country in serious mess.
The evil party that borrowed money from other countries to pay salaries of Nigeria civil servants, at the time we made the highest revenue in the history of our nation, but looted it all still think they have a say in our nation?
They only have say to the fraudsters and criminals supporting them online, the criminals that are pained that theit fathers lost the election twice to the same man.
The criminals castigating over 15 million sane , honest and hardworking Nigerians that voted these criminals out of power.

PDP in Nigeria again?!
God forbid bad thing we rather vote for FRESH Party!!

SECONDUS is my brother from the same LGA and Wike is my Governor but the way Governor Wike is going about with his ambition,hmmmm,
It will destroy the party because for those of you who don't know SECONDUS very well.

SECONDUS has been in Rivers State politics from the days of NPN,He was a two term state party chairman, deputy party chairman south, National organizing secretary, deputy national chairman, acting National chairman and finally the National chairman of the People Democratic party.

SECONDUS was the brain behind the success of Wike governorship ambition, SECONDUS being G U AKE's in-law and also the National organizing secretary bought the state PDP chairmanship form for AKE, fill and submitted it unbehalf of AKE, AKE having trusted SECONDUS failed to collect the slip and other documents from SECONDUS.
SECONDUS used all this lapsis to detrone G U AKE who decided to rather die with Amaechi than to follow his in-law (SECONDUS) to the new camp which eventually brought Felix Obua as Rivers PDP chairman.

SECONDUS is the only person that made his brother (Tele Ikuru) deputy governor to two candidates (Omehia and Amaechi) at the same time.
SECONDUS is not a baby but a political hippopotamus from Andoni that can sink any political boat in Rivers State.
He

Dead party who had the power to turn things around for the past 16 years of their ruling but were busy sharing our National cake among themselves. If they ruled us well, we wouldn't have fall into the Trap of this present APC Regime of suffering been impose on the Masses..

I wish the two most useless parties in the world in PDP and APC will just vanish from the surface of the earth. The same old story with two of them, fight for power, attain it and then corruption, insecurity, suffering of the masses continue.

It's long overdue. He has been there for too long delivering weak leadership services. The party keep losing members to our super Magic Broom of progressive Congress even though wike becomes chairman or anybody Magic broom go always sweep them off their feets

with the way people are leaving pdp, the party stakes holders
need to sit up

He did it to amaechi, he will do it to you wike because you did it to amaechi and amaechi did it to Peter odili

Imagine

I won’t be surprised if Secundus is actually working for APC. He’s incompetent and hopeless

Let him fight back oooo, I wonder why WIke is fighting his own brother
