I’ve no hands in your ordeal, Atiku tells Secondus

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar had denied having a hand in the ordeal of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche secondus.In a statement by Paul Ibe, Atiku reacted to speculations linking Secondus’ ordeal to his recent meeting with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt.Ibe said: “It is a beer parlour talk, and it is also mischievous. Why will a former Vice President be behind the plot to sack PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus? What will be his interest?“This is someone who has commenced the process of having conversations with stakeholders of the party on reconciliation. A man who has encouraged processes aimed at ensuring peace and stability in the party.“The trip he made to Port Harcourt came after a one in Delta. And he has more in the offing. Why will he promote peace and stability in the party and be behind moves to sack Secondus? It’s ridiculous for anyone to talk about this.“Atiku understands the Constitution of the PDP and what the party says about tenure for party leadership. So he cannot be working against something that he understands and promotes. That is not how Democrats behave. Those are anti-democratic behaviour and that is not who he is. Whoever is saying this should know that this is a beer parlour talk and unnecessary mischief.”
