Former Vice President and PDP’S 2019 presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday dismissed speculations that his recent meeting with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state in Port Harcourt triggered calls for the removal of Prince Uche Secondus as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, national chairman.
Atiku denied this allegation through Paul Ibe, his media adviser.
“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 a 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. That is not how democrats behave. Those are anti-democratic behaviour and that is not who he is. Whoever is saying this, should know that this is a beer parlour talk and unnecessary mischief, ” Ibe said.
