The controversial National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has been suspended by the Peoples Democratic Party Ward 5 in Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Secondus is a well-known politician from the Rivers State town of Andoni. He was the previous Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State and the party’s National Organising Secretary.
This was revealed by the party’s Ward Chairman, George Christopher, at the party’s extraordinary meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area.
Eleven of the 17 executive members approved Secondus’ expulsion from the party, according to the chairman.
Despite his strong political image and incapacity to govern the party, Christopher stated the national chairman had failed to draw development to the area.
Christopher stated, “The Ward executive of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ward 5, Ikuru town, and the leaders met on the 31st of August, 2021 issues that affect the party.
“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.”
Also speaking, former chairman of Andoni LGA and chairman, Disciplinary Committee in the Ward, Benson Alpheous, noted that Secondus was suspended for disobeying the party’s decision for him to step down as national chairman.
“Until further notice, our brother, Prince Uche Secondus remains suspended. I want to thank you for coming and again, reaffirm the suspension of Uche Secundus.
“For now, until you hear from us again, Prince Uche Secondus remain suspended,” he added.
Efforts to reach the State Chairman of the PDP, Desmond Akawor, for his comments concerning Secondus’ sacking were unsuccessful.
Also, attempts to reach Secondus proved abortive.
