PDP: Secondus survives, gets reprieve with early convention | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

• Tambuwal: APC lacks structures of a political partyThe national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party , Prince Uche Secondus, yesterday, survived raging onslaught against his continued stay in office and got a soft landing a week after his position was threatened by a no confidence vote and mass resignation of some National Working Committee members of the party.

Addressing newsmen at the end of the meeting, which lasted for about three hours, Sokoto State governor and chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, said a National Executive Committee meeting will hold next week, after which a convention planning committee will be constituted.

A source at the meeting said Secondus explained that the party had scheduled series of activities to hold between now and October. Those activities, according to Secondus, included state congresses in many parts of the country. Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, who chairs the PDP e-registration committee, told leaders of the party that less than 24 hours after the scheme was flagged off, over 10,000 Nigerians have registered as new members of the PDP.The PDP has been experiencing an internal crisis leading to the resignation of at least seven principal officers. The party has also lost the Governors of Ebonyi, Cross River and Zamfara to the All Progressives Congress .

“You can see clearly that 13 out of 13 of your governors, your ambassadors are in this meeting, fully committed to not only resolving the issues at hand, but also working assiduously toward delivering good governance in our respective states and moving our party forward. Tambuwal asked: “If you say you are going somewhere, where will you go to? The APC is not a party. They do not have ward structures as we speak. They do not have a local government structure, state structures and national structure as we speak. APC has never had, and is not having a Board of Trustees.
