Uche Secondus, the embattled Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has disputed reports that he was suspended from his Ward 5 in Ikuru, Andoni Local Government Area, Rivers State.
According to reports circulating on social media, Secondus’ suspension was declared during the party’s extraordinary meeting at the party’s secretariat in Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area, by Ward Chairman of the Party, George Christopher.
Eleven of the party’s 17 executive members, according to the chairman, voted to expel Secondus.
Despite his great political profile and inability to run the party, he claims the national chairman has failed to draw development to the region.
“Suspension of Prince Uche Secondus was done by the Ward executive after a duly constituted Ward meeting called by the Secretary on the instructions of the Chairman, according to the Constitution of our great party.
“Until further notice, our brother, Prince Uche Secondus remains suspended. I want to thank you for coming and reaffirming the suspension of Uche Secundus,” he said.
However, his media aide, Ike Abonyi refuted the claims adding that it never happened.
“I can confirm that the story is false and you can quote me anywhere. I’m currently in Port Harcourt and there’s no such thing as him being suspended,” he told this newspaper.
