The permutations ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections have long begun.

Prospective aspirants under the platform of the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), appears to have passed a subtle vote of no confidence on its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who they accused of making clandestine moves to reserve the party’s 2023 presidential ticket to most recent flagbearer Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

According to an insider in the party who spoke on the condition of anonymity to the political correspondent of TheNigerian News, “Prince Uche Secondus has stepped on many toes and the big hammer is about to land on his head.”

He further revealed that some aspirants have voiced their displeasure with the way Atiku has monopolized the party, stressing that Mr Secondus has literally relocated to Dubai, the residence of the party’s presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections.

They wondered why it’s National Chairman would abandon the Wadata Plaza office to govern from Dubai when the party is in urgent need of re-organisation and redirection to tackle its numerous challenges including the fallout of the both Kogi and Bayelsa states primaries which is threatening the chances of the party at the November 16th governorship polls.

Another source who spoke in favour of Mr Secondus berated party members who are accusing the chairman of relocating to the residence of the former vice president in the oil-rich city, accusing them particularly the governors of starving the party of funds and leaving the role of proving the resources to run its activities to the Turaki of Adamawa.

He justified the National Chairman’s hobnob with Atiku, noting that the party could not afford one minute of survival without Atiku.

Another source, a former governor who spoke to our correspondent on the condition that his name should not be mentioned, disclosed that Secondus has stepped on many big toes including that of those who staked everything to ensure his emergence as the National Chairman.

He recalled how Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State contributed hugely to singlehandedly bankroll Mr Secondus to the National Chairmanship position only for the latter to align with enemies of the party in ensuring that Wike’s candidate, Kingsley Chinda does not emerge as the minority leader of the House of Representatives.

He further decried the poor management of the crises that followed the emergence of Ndudi Elumelu as the Minority Leader of the House of Reps against the wishes of the party.

He added that Governor Wike who is protecting the National Chairman has finally left him making him susceptible to attacks from the prospective aspirants.

Asked who the aspirants who have allegedly ganged up against the National Chairman are, the source disclosed that they are those who wish for a level playing ground at the PDP primary that will produce the party’s presidential flagbearer in the 2023 elections.

He also reminded our correspondent that Governor Wike himself did not support Atiku at the party’s October 6th Presidential primaries held in Portharcourt.

Our investigation further revealed that some members of the party are not comfortable with the age of the former vice president and prefers to field a younger candidate.

The likes Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State and former governor of Kano, Senator Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso among others have been rumoured.

The major sin of the National Chairman according to them, is his alleged plot to deny the potential aspirants of a level playing and reserve the PDP’s Presidential ticket for Atiku.

He is alleged to have surrendered the party to the ex-number two citizen.

Tinubu cannot defeat Atiku in 2023

Pdp should not make any mistake by fielding another candidate than Atiku, no Apc candidate can defeat Atiku in any free and fair election in 2023, pdp should rally round Atiku and support him in 2023 to wrestle power from Apc. Pdp should put their house in order first and get the power from Apc. No other pdp candidate can win Apc in 2023.

Secondus' time is up.

Atiku will be president of Biafra republic not in this country. Atiku last chance to become president is 2019 and he lost woefully compare to Jonathan.

One thing about APC is they re always improving in the political battles while pdp is on steady decline.if not for dogara and saraki treachery in NASS pdp would have been long dead.

Did u read the part of the article that said governors have abandoned pdp by starving it funds.thats why secondus relocate to Dubai to meet Alhaji cash money

Royal Rumble awaits pdp after congress
