The Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, says no
individual, including the suspended chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, can thwart the mission of the party to rescue
Nigeria from bad leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Wike, who spoke in Port Harcourt in reaction to the Court of
Appeal dismissal of Secondus’ application that sought to stop the PDP
convention and restate him as the national chairman of the party, said that
Secondus’ attempt to scuttle the PDP national convention makes him an enemy of
the party.
He stated that the PDP mission to rescue Nigeria is a
commitment that will not be compromised because of the mess the APC has made of
Nigerian State, pointing out that it is clear that PDP would not allow any
individual or group of individuals to derail its rescue mission as captured by
the theme of the convention.
Wike said: “What Secondus is doing is to sabotage the
efforts of Nigerians, the efforts of PDP from rescuing this country from the
hand of the party that has failed the country. And it is not fair.
“This is a party that has given you everything and there’s
nothing wrong in making sacrifice. Even if, assuming though not conceding, that
anything was wrong, we expected that having achieved what you have achieved in
your life from this party, there is nothing wrong in making sacrifice.
“If you make sacrifice for the party, you’re making
sacrifice for Nigerians. If PDP is not there, which other party is ready to
rescue Nigeria.”
Governor Wike clarified that the Court of Appeal did not only
dismiss the application of Secondus, but it also ordered that the PDP National
convention be conducted unrestrained.
“Our constitution provides that if a national chairman is
removed, the deputy national chairman from that zone will immediately be the
chairman or acting chairman as the case may be.
“And so, when Secondus was removed, he handed over to the
acting national chairman now. So, the act has already been done, completed. So,
what will the court say when someone is already acting and supervising that
office,” he said.
