The new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has promised to evict the All Progressives Congress from Aso Rock, vowing to lead his party back to power in 2019.
After taking shot at the APC, Secondus argued that the PDP was founded on ideals that are “totally in tandem” with those of Nigeria’s founding fathers.
Secondus stated these while delivering his acceptance speech after he was declared the new national chairman at the party’s national convention in Abuja on Saturday.
He said; “Let me assure you great members and leaders of our party, that by the grace of God and with all hands on deck, the brief tenancy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Aso Rock Villa expires on May 28, 2019. By this, we serve them a quit notice.
“It is crystal clear to all Nigerians, that APC is not a political party, but a body hurriedly assembled to seize power without a clear-cut plan for governance.”
Secondus also praised Adeniran and Dokpesi who contested against him for the national chairmanship seat, describing them as eminently qualified to lead the party for the role and thanking them for a “worthy contest”.
