Nyesom Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, has explained why he dismissed Uche Secondus as the PDP’s national chairman before the general elections in 2023.
An elder statesman named Prince Uche Secondus chaired the PDP National Working Committee in 2017 before the party suspended him in 2021.
Speaking to his supporters and PDP members in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike said that he expelled Secondus because, in his capacity as National Chairman, he intended to recruit Tele Ikuru to compete for the state’s governorship.
According to him, “Why did we kick out Secondus? We kicked him out because he wanted to bring his cousin Tele Ikuru. Get out, get out, who are you?
“We kicked him out. I have no regret about it. And it’s true. We kicked him out. I heard some leaders say, ‘how can a ward Chairman remove a national chairman?’
“No ward Chairman removed a national chairman. What the ward did was suspend him from the party. When you’re suspended from the party, can you hold that position? People don’t even understand the facts.”
According to ZINGTIE, Secondus recently praised Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara for defying Wike’s purported intimidation.
In response to the results of Rivers State’s local government election, Secondus stated that Fubara demonstrated genuine leadership.
