The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has extended his appreciation to members of the party across the country and in diaspora for their unalloyed support which made the peaceful and transparent conduct of the party’s Presidential primaries possible.
Secondus said that by that singular action, the party’s journey to regaining power and ejecting the All Progressives Congress (APC) from office has begun well and only a matter of time.
The PDP Presidential primary was conduct in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, at the weekend.
According to him, “all the doomsday predictions that the party was going to emerge from their National convention swimming in crisis have been proven wrong as the party is not only more peaceful but more united and determined to execute the sole most important project of chasing out APC from the nation’s political life.”

In a statement signed by his media adviser Ike Abonyi, Secondus noted that the recently held convention was “a clear demonstration that the re-branding and re-positioning of the party with a view to regaining power was actually on course and in full gear.”
It said further; “The support from members and non members to the reform agenda of the party that culminated in the successful primaries from ward to National levels shows clearly the determination of Nigerians to return PDP to power.
” Special recognition must be made of those whose yeoman roles made it possible, all those who participated either as aspirants, or as facilitators and here special mention must be made of the Chairman of the National Convention Committee His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and members of his committee.”
He equally extended special appreciation and commendation to the Rivers state Governor Neysom Wike and the government and people of the state for their “exceptional service and contributions to the party and the successful hosting of the convention.”
The PDP National Chairman did not fail to recognise and appreciate, “the wonderful roles of all the PDP Governors as well as other critical stakeholders and members at all levels as well as the media and the public for their positive interests in the party.”
Appealing to members who contested for various positions and lost to emulate the Presidential aspirants and make the necessary sacrifices needed for the eventual success of the party, Secondus said; “By the Port Harcourt successful outing, the party’s journey to Aso Rock villa has begun in earnest and I urge all hands to be on deck until the country is rescued.
According to him, PDP umbrella was big enough for all in victory.
