According to him, “The PDP Governors further re-assure all PDP members, stakeholders and the nation of their commitment, determination and loyalty in the patriotic task of dislodging the failed APC government that has brought nothing but misery and pain to all Nigerians.”
The opposition party has lost several key members to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a result of its internal crisis.
Uche Secondus, the embattled national chairman of the PDP, has been under increased pressure to resign from office.
He was suspended after a high court in Rivers State granted an interim order restraining him from parading himself as the national chairman of the party.
Subsequently, the party’s national working committee (NWC) named Yemi Akinwonmi, the national deputy chairman (south), as the acting chairman.
