A former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has given reasons why he kicked out Uche Secondus as the national Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, prior to the 2023 general elections.
Prince Uche Secondus, an elder statesman, was the Chairman of the PDP National Working Committee in 2017 and was suspended by the party in 2021
Wike, while addressing his followers and members of the PDP in Port Harcourt on Saturday, said he kicked out Secondus because as National Chairman, he wanted to bring Tele Ikuru to run for the governorship position of the state.
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.”
DAILY POST reports that Secondus, had recently hailed Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State for refusing to bow to Wike’s alleged intimidation.
Secondus was reacting to the outcome of the local government election in Rivers State, saying Fubara showed true leadership.
