Few days after he was described as “liar” by Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said he won’t join issues with any leader of the party.
Wike, at the 60th birthday celebration of ex-Cross River state governor, Liyel Imoke, lambasted Secondus, blaming him for the troubles facing the party.
Secondus, however, reacted to the “liar” tag on Tuesday in a statement issued by his media aide, Ike Abonyi.

“Our response is that no amount of provocation will make the national chairman join issues with any leader of the party not to talk of a state governor.
“To do that is to remove the toga of a leader of the party.
“The impact of such response from national chairman on the party will be worse than silence.
“The national chairman considers whatever negative outburst against him from any quarter as one of the punches a leader must receive and endure to get stronger, especially when the truth is unhidden that Secondus is not a liar.”
