“That, we bitterly recalled how the National Chairman of our party, Prince Uche Secondus out of his lust for power mobilized the party stakeholders across the country against the former party leadership of Bamanga Tukur and Adamu Mu’azu on the ground of ”incompetency”. Unfortunately, he is now exhibiting the highest level of incompetency one could ever imagine in handling the party. Thus we are calling on National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BOT) of the party to as a matter of urgency pass a vote of no confidence on the National Chairman and unanimously sack him to save the party from total collapse.
“That, the National Chairman of the party is on a mission of destroying the party for the ruling APC as reflected in his deliberate actions and inactions to frustrate many State Governors, Distinguished Senators, Members House of Reps among others to decamped from the party to the ruling APC. Hence, Uche Secondus MUST GO to save the party from losing its remaining members and won back the ones that have gone due to his bad leadership qualities.
