Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has dismissed speculations that he has a hand in the Uche Secondus’ ordeal.
Gatekeepers News reports that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has dismissed speculations that his recent meeting with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State in Port Harcourt fuelled calls for the removal of Prince Uche Secondus as the Poeples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman.
Atiku in a statement through his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, said he is only interested in peace and stability of the PDP, and not what will endanger the interest of the party.
“It is a beer parlour talk, 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 the 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.” The statement read in part.
