Emerging report hints that time is finally up for Uche Secondus as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after the National Working Committee (NWC) decided his sack in the early hours of Monday.
This is as the NWC held a meeting and six out of nine members voted for his infractions and seeming incompetence.
Although a final decision has not been reached as they decided to meet with other influential organs of the party to press home this resolution.
Secondus had been in the eye of the storm as party chieftains and executives had called for his removal over perceived infractions including financial impropriety.
Recall that recently, a number of national executives of the party had resigned their positions and some other chieftains left the party, accusing Secondus of running the party aground.
The major concern of the party is its fate in the coming 2023 general elections.
In efforts to resolve the crisis, the party’s NWC held a meeting on August 3, at Legacy House where members sat and decided that a meeting of the body should be held on August 8, 2021 at the Hilton to further deliberate on the matter bedeviling the party.
