Newly elected chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has reacted to reports that credited him with statements which insinuated that Atiku Abubakar is a spy for the APC,
Secondus laughed the statements off saying that he made no such statement to anyone.
In a statement made through his media office, Secondus said; “The attention of the media office of the National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party PDP Prince Uche Secondus has been drawn to a laughable fabrication in the social media quoting the National Chairman as saying to nameless reporters that the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who recently returned to the party is working as agent for both President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling APC.
“This is the kind of thing that should not merit a response but because of record and harmless social media followers who may fall, victim of such dangerous distortions, we want to say that Prince Secondus got his mandate riding on his experience in party management. Such experience includes but not limited to knowing what to say, how to say it and when.
“Prince Secondus knows as National Chairman that after December 10, 2017 mandate he has become the leader of all members of this party including all its Presidential hopefuls and cannot for any reason position himself in Favour or disfavour of any of the aspirants and this applies to all levels of the party.
The statement continued; “Aware of the enormous challenges before him of rebuilding, repositioning and regaining power come 2019, the PDP National Chairman is presently preoccupied with the huge task ahead of him.
“National Chairman’s media office, therefore, wants to alert Nigerians that in coming days and months more of such baseless publications would be seen ostensibly to distract us and create division among us but they have failed because with the new spirit in PDP we we would not be distracted from our set goal of chasing APC out of Aso Rock. We therefore want to advice all Nigerians particularly our beloved members to disregard any of such publications not from our office or from credible media houses.”
