Details: PDP Chairman Secondus Takes Higher Ground In “Fight” With Wike

The national chairman of the People’s Democratic Uche Secondus has taken the higher ground in the raging fight with Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State.

Secondus has opted to turn the fight into a one-sided affair by refusing to engage Governor Wike.

Secondus in a quick reaction issued by his spokesperson Ike Aboniyi to damning allegations against him by Wike on Saturday stated “Our response is that no amount of provocation will make the national chairman take issues with any leader of the party talk less a state governor.. To do that is to remove the toga of a leader of the party. The impact of such response from the national chairman on the party will be worse than silence.

“The National Chairman considers whatever negative outburst against him from any quarter as one of the punches a leader must receive and endure to get stronger especially when the truth is unhidden that Secondus is not a liar.”

The reaction was made to claims by Wike that “The National Chairman said we need good leadership in the country, but if you don’t show good leadership, the party cannot produce good leaders. That is the truth of the matter.

“We talk about character. What is leadership? Leadership is about character, boldness, selflessness and audacity.

“As a leader, you must have character. Not to speak white in the morning and you speak black in the evening. Is that leadership? What are we telling our youths? We are talking about the future of this country.”
