He condemned Umahi’s reason for defection describing it as “provocative reason of allegation of injustice against South East”.
“We have refused to join issues with him in any way, but we cannot bow to any blackmail. What I can report to NEC is that the strength of our party in Ebonyi State and South East is intact and the NWC has taken necessary steps to protect and guard it. The real season that informed this decision will soon be exposed,” he added.
He also briefed the meeting about the outcome of some of the decisions reached during the last NEC which was held in February, as well as the efforts of the PDP in the governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States.
According to Secondus, one great lesson the party must learn from those elections is that it needs unity in order to be able to win future polls.
