The Deputy National Chairman, Peoples
Democratic Party, Chief Uche Secondus, has taken
over as the acting National Chairman of the party.
This followed the resignation of the party
Chairman, Adamu Muazu, who threw in the towel
on Wednesday on health grounds.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
who confirmed this to journalists at the Wadata
Plaza secretariat of the party, commended Muazu
for his services to the PDP and love for the
nation.
He said, “I can confirm that we have received the
resignation of the National Chairman, Alhaji
Adamu Mu’azu. I can confirm that the chairman,
who had health challenges, stayed on for the
primaries, for the campaigns and the elections
and after consultations with his family, and in his
personal interest, he had decided to resign.
“This party commends him for his services to the
party and for his love for the nation. We wish him
well. We will not forget him. In line with the
constitution, the Deputy National Chairman,
Prince Uche Secondus, has taken charge of the
affairs of the party as acting national chairman of
the party. The constitution does not recognise a
vacuum.”
Metuh said Secondus would be in charge pending
when a replacement would be appointed from the
North-East.
