PDP Crisis: I Won’t Withdraw From Court – Secondus

Uche Secondus, the suspended National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says he has no plans to drop the lawsuit contesting his removal from office.

Ike Abonyi, Secondus’ Media Adviser, made the announcement in a statement.

Secondus was in court, according to Abonyi, to seek justice as well as to protect the party from manipulation.

He added that the party leaders were aware of the situation and knew what to do to rectify the problem.

The statement read in part, “The attention of the media office of Secondus has been drawn to an unsubstantiated report claiming that he is under pressure to withdraw his case against the party from court.

“The truth which the said news did not state is that Secondus is not in court against the party, but was dragged to court by persons bent on hijacking the soul of the party.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the media office wishes to restate that Secondus is really under pressure for justice and will seek it anywhere to save the party from destruction.

“Nothing short of justice will save PDP from the current situation.

“For avoidance of doubt, the justice Secondus is seeking is as enshrined in the party’s constitution which is supreme.

“The constitution states clearly how a national chairman and any national officer can be sanctioned even where there is a known breach, talk less of where there is none.”
