Stop Wike’s Use Of PDP To Remain Relevant In Tinubu’s Govt, Secondus Tells Party Leaders

As Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) head into the much-anticipated National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday, a former national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus has urged party leaders to stop the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike’s continuous use of PDP to remain relevant in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Secondus, in a statement by his media adviser, Ike Abonyi, told PDP leaders that Wike’s busybody gimmick should not distract them from proving that no individual is bigger than the party, adding that the FCT minister is already drowning politically.

The former PDP chairman stated this in an advisory to PDP leaders assembling for the party’s 98th NEC meeting on Thursday, urging them to do everything humanly possible and within the law to rescue and restore the party’s glory.

The former PDP chairman said the former Rivers State governor is trying hard to create a non-existent crisis in the party to make himself relevant before his boss, President Tinubu, who he said to be getting fed up with his nuisance of bringing politics into the governance of the FCT.

“By deviously trying to create the impression that he is in a tussle of supremacy with the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the party and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Wike who is copiously losing political relevance everywhere from Rivers to Abuja is trying to give the impression that he is a factor in PDP and holding it for his APC interest.

“The critical structures of this party, NEC, BOT, National Caucus, forum of Governors, Chairmen of states and National Assembly caucus of the party must rise to the challenge and isolate mischief makers and meddlers like Wike and move the party forward,” Secondus said.

He charged the party leaders not to fall for Wike’s trick by giving him undeserved relevance which he no longer possesses.

“I expect the founding fathers and other dedicated members to rise to the challenge and return this great party to its glory by ensuring, as they always do at critical moments, that nobody or group is greater or bigger than this party,” he said.
