The Acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has said that members of the National Working Committee (NWC) would not resign as being canvassed by some members of the Party.
Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Secondus said there was no reason for any of the remaining NWC members to resign as their stay in office is tenured.
He also debunked insinuations that the former Chairman of the Party, Adamu Muazu was forced to resign from the position.
“You know that is not right, it is unconstitutional, because the chairman did that voluntarily, and the BoT Chairman also did that voluntarily. Some of the others have tenures, at the end of our tenure if we are re-elected, fine, if not that is the right thing to do.”
“There is no reason for us to resign because we have worked hard” he said.
On the coincidence of the resignation of both the national chairman and BoT Chairman, he said: “Sometimes it happens that way. Nobody forced them to go.”
Explaining the purpose of his visit to the Villa, he said: “I just came here to interact with our leader, Mr. President.”
Asked on what is now expected from the party, he said: “Sitting back to reorganize and then re-invent our party, and to assure our teeming supporters and members that the party is intact without any problem.”
It would be recalled that the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu and Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the party, Chief Tony Anenih had resigned yesterday.
