Ahead of the national convention
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, today, Saturday, in Abuja, the Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has provided reasons Uche Secondus should emerge
as the national chairman of the party.
The governor made his position
known in a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, where Wike
said Secondus was the only candidate from a state governed by the PDP.
Wike said Secondus, a former
acting chairman of the party, is the best candidate to lead the PDP in view of
his experience and track record.
He said, “I have analysed the
scenario. I have analysed the delegates spread of each state. There is no way
that Prince Uche Secondus will not coast to victory by over 90 per cent of
delegates votes.
“I am talking because I am in the
campaign team of Prince Uche Secondus and I am a delegate.
“Secondus has never said anything
negative against any other candidate. He has remained focused on his campaign.
“Somebody who believes that he
will win, will not resort to writing petitions before the convention.
“All reports in the media against
Secondus are planted and false.
“National Chairmanship in the
South-west will not change the fortunes of the PDP. Even when the President
hailed from the South-west, the fortunes of the party did not improve in terms
of votes in that zone.
“The zone is prone to incessant
crises as can be seen. Any candidate who emerges from the South-west will lead
to further crisis from other factions from that zone.
“Only a candidate from outside
the South-west such as Prince Uche Secondus can unite the zone. He has the
reach and capacity to unite all factions in the South-west. He is the person
suited for the party at this time.
“After today’s convention, PDP
will come out stronger. It will come out refreshed and re-positioned for the
good of the country.”
