PDP Will Return to Winning Ways Again, Says Secondus

- Onyebuchi Ezigbo

The former acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and National Chairmansh­ip aspirants, Prince Uche Secondus has said that every member of the party would have a sense of belonging under his leadership if given the mandate. Secondus said that the new leadership he intended to give the party if given the mandate would take the party to another level with a view to restoring its winning ways again. A statement from Secondus Media office in Abuja said he made the pronouncem­ents Thursday night at Ibro Hotel while addressing North Central delegates to the December 9th National Convention of the party. He told the delegates that included former Governors, former Ministers, old and serving Senators and members of House of Representa­tives and other Chieftains of the party that PDP was at a crossroad and needed a leadership that would hit the ground running. "Our party at the moment is not at a comfort zone and therefore requires purposeful leadership as it cannot afford any waste of time. "With election around the corner, there is no time to learn, the party needs an experience­d person and I think I have it having served the party at various levels meritoriou­sly. "Let me assure you that as your National Chairman, I would deliver votes and if I can't deliver votes from my constituen­cy I would resign. Listing some of the achievemen­ts that stood him out to lead the party, Secondus said under his watch as National Organising Secretary, the party had the best internal and external elections. He also said that as acting National Chairman, he set up a special committee that looked into the causes of the failure of the party in 2015 general election, pointing out that the post-mortem report which had been adopted by the National Executive Committee NEC would be a huge guide for him to rebuild, reform and regain the party.
