PDP Andoni Ward suspends Secondus
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ward 5 in Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State has suspended the embattled National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus.
Ward Chairman of the Party, George Christopher, who confirmed the development at the party’s extraordinary meeting at the party’s Secretariat at Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area, said 11 executive members out of the 17 endorsed Secondus suspension from the party.
“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.
“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,” Christopher said.
Also speaking, former chairman of Andoni LGA and chairman, Disciplinary Committee in the Ward, Benson Alpheous, noted that Secondus was suspended for disobeying the party’s decision for him to step down as national chairman.
“Until further notice, our brother, Prince Uche Secondus remains suspended. I want to thank you for coming and again, reaffirm the suspension of Uche Secundus.
“For now, until you hear from us again, Prince Uche Secondus remain suspended,” he added.
Secondus who has been battling reinstatement as National Chairman since his removal by a Port Harcourt High Court, last Tuesday, despite obtaining an exparte motion from a Kebbi High Court ordering return to status quo, did not attend the last National Executive Committee of the party.
