Defections: PDP Lawmaker Demands Secondus’ Resignation by ManirBK: 1:09pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
Rimamnde Kwewum (PDP, Taraba), a member of the House of Representatives, has urged the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, to resign in the face of mass defections hitting the party. Mr Kwewum, who represents Donga/ Takum/Wusa federal constituency of Taraba State, cited “increasing weakness, incoherence and daily loss of members to the ruling party” as the reason for the call. The call for the resignation was contained in a letter Mr Kwewum wrote to the PDP Chairman and a copy was obtained by PREMIUM TIMES. The letter was dated July 6 and addressed to Mr Secondus. Mr Kwewum said the leaders of the opposition in the House are tired of protesting daily defection as he made reference to the recent defection of four lawmakers from Zamfara State. “Today (Tuesday), not unexpectedly, four members of the House of Representatives from Zamfara State denounced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC). Unlike other times, when leaders of the party in the House (both the Minority Caucus Leadership and the House PDP Caucus Leadership), put up some form of protest, not a whisper was heard or a hand raised in protest against the decamping!” He said that while Governor Nyesom Wike was selling the candidacy of Mr Secondus, it was on ability to deliver, adding that the party does not have what it takes to take back the centre. “When the Governor of Rivers State HE Nyesome Wike sought the support of members of the House of Representatives for your candidacy of the National Chairmanship of the Party, he extolled your virtues of tenacity and commitment to the party and our hope, then, to win the 2019 elections. He said you were the most experienced and loyal person who would commit everything to the success of the party. Indeed, and according to him, the relentless pursuit of success would be the guide of your actions. “The PDP, as you very well know, ought to represent the hope of Nigerians for a new future and to, at the very least, provide some formidable resistance and pull from the brink that the APC government has tragically brought Nigeria to. Unfortunately, the increasing weakness, incoherence, and daily loss of membership of our party to the ruling party have contributed to the general feeling of hopelessness in the country.” Mr Kwewum said the Secondus-led National Working Committee cannot lead the reconciliation effort because they are enmeshed in controversies. “You and the current national working committee members will be unable to lead the reconciliation process because you are unfortunately enmeshed in several current controversies,” the lawmaker said. Gale of defections On Wednesday, a member of the House, Jonathan Gaza, also resigned from the PDP and moved to the APC. TEXEM Defection is almost a weekly activity in the House. There have been eight defections in the last five legislative days. In addition, three governors in the opposition party have moved to the APC. They are Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, Ben Ayade of Cross River and Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State.https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/472245-defections-pdp-lawmaker-demands-secondus-resignation.html mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala mannabbqgrill |

Secondus isn't PDP problem. PDP is like old man who is destiny to die no amount of medical attention given to him will make him to live. #SinkingShip |

"Rimamnde Kwewum (PDP, Taraba), a member of the House of Representatives, has urged the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, to resign in the face of mass defections hitting the party." I agree with Rep. Kwewum call for Chairman Secondus resignation. Mr. Secondus is a liability to PDP. He is too old to keep up with current trends on issues hurting the party chances to succeed at polls. He doesn't call out president Buhari for all the killings and kidnapping going on in Nigeria. Mr. Secondus is a Jonathan boy--- meaning he is scared to challenge president Buhari and APC on practice of discrimination against Nigerians . Many PDP members and Nigerian people see Mr. Secondus as using the party for his own personal gains. That is not a good image people want to think of a party Chairman. A party Chairman is someone people get excited about. Right now, I see no excitement in Chairman Secondus to get people interested in fighting for PDP. That said, and as long as Chairman Secondus remains as PDP chairman, the party will never win 2023 presidential election. His presence in PDP brings back the memories of former president Goodluck Jonathan. Goodluck Jonathan was not exciting person to begin with. So, throwing Goodluck Jonathan into the mix makes things worse for PDP. |
