Only A National Convention Can Remove Secondus As Chairman – PDP Lawyer
- Enoidem said by Section 29 (3) and Subsection (4) of the PDP constitution, only the national chairman or a summon by two-third of NWC members can convene a meeting
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Legal Adviser, Emmanuel Enoidem has said that only a national convention can remove the National Working Committee (NWC) or any national officer.
Enoidem issued a rejoinder on Monday to a communique issued by some NWC members after a Sunday night meeting in Abuja.
Six out of the nine voted for the sack of embattled PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
But Enoidem said by Section 29 (3) and Subsection (4) of the PDP constitution, only the national chairman or a summon by two-third of NWC members can convene a meeting.

He noted that the action of the officials was “in utter disdain and violation of clear extant provisions of our constitution”.
Enoidem said the issue of resignation of any officer at any level is a personal decision as stipulated in Sections 45(1) & 47(5).
“There is no provision in our constitution which donates powers to any individuals to ask an officer of the party to resign for any reason whatsoever, as was purported in the so called press release.
“The powers to remove any member of the NWC and indeed any national officer is reserved in the national convention which is due for December 2021″, he stressed.
