The executive committee of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) ward 5 in Ikuru, Andoni LGA of Rivers state, has suspended Uche Secondus,
embattled national chairman of the party.
George Christopher, chairman of the ward, said Secondus was
suspended at a meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Ikuru.
Speaking on Tuesday, Christopher said 11 out of the 17 executive
members approved the suspension of Secondus from the ward chapter of the party.
Secondus, a member of ward 5 in Ikuru, Andoni LGA, was a
former chairman of the party in Rivers.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
When contacted, Ike Abonyi, Secondus spokesperson, said his
principal has not been served notice on the development.
“The national
chairman is not aware of that,” he said.
Secondus has been under increased pressure of late, with
demands for his resignation coming from various quarters.
Last week, a high court in Rivers state granted an interim
order restraining Secondus from parading himself as the national chairman of
the PDP.
But another high court sitting in Kebbi ordered that
Secondus retain his position as national chairman of the party.
However, last Friday, a high court in Cross River state
barred him from resuming office as the national chairman of the PDP.
In compliance with the court order, the party’s national
working committee (NWC) named Akinwonmi, the national deputy chairman (south),
as the acting national chairman.
