APC Threatens To Expose PDP National Chairman

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has warned the Acting National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, to leave former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, alone or it would be forced to expose him.

Rivers APC made the warning in a statement signed on Sunday in Port Harcourt by the State Chairman, Davies Ibiamu Ikanya.

The party was reacting to an attack launched by Secondus on Amaechi on Wednesday while receiving the report of the Senator Ike Ekweremadu-led committee on how to reform and reposition the former ruling party for the 2019 general elections.

Rivers APC said in the statement that, “We appreciate the agony of Secondus, one of the key architects of PDP’s loss of power after 16 years of misrule.

“We also understand his frustration in his very difficult assignment of reinventing PDP, a party the death of which he and some other tin gods caused by frustrating Amaechi and other progressives who were the souls of PDP out of the party.

“It is a pity that PDP has yet to recover from the shock of the departure of Amaechi from the party. Even though we do not intend to go into details of what Secondus and other inner caucus members did to force Amaechi out of the party, we will like to caution him to stop further disparaging of Amaechi as any further attack on Amaechi will force us to alert the world on who Secondus truly is. We wish to warn him that enough is enough.”

The party expressed shock on why Secondus failed to concentrate on the recommendations of the Ekweremadu committee and addressing the issues raised in the committee’s report on how to get back PDP on track, but chose to play to the gallery by asking President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate Amaechi, who it said has no “skeleton in his cupboard unlike him (Secondus) whose cupboard is full of skeletons.”

The party advised PDP to come to terms with the fact that Amaechi has left the party for good and has joined other great patriotic Nigerians in a better political party that is poised to take Nigeria out of the woods into which the 16 years of the visionless leadership of PDP has plunged the country.
