Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State hailed the court’s decision and declared that no individual, including Secondus, would be allowed to derail the party’s mission to rescue Nigeria.
“Anybody who crosses our way to stop this rescue of Nigeria, the person is an enemy of to this country”, he said in Port Harcourt while reacting to the Court of Appeal dismissal of Secondus’ application that sought to stop the PDP convention.
He said: “What Secondus is doing is to sabotage the efforts of Nigerians, the efforts of PDP from rescuing this country from the hand of the party that has failed the country. And it is not fair.
“This is a party that has given you everything and there’s nothing wrong in making sacrifice. Even if, assuming though not conceding, that anything was wrong, we expected that having achieved what you have achieved in your life from this party, there is nothing wrong in making sacrifice.
“If you make sacrifice for the party, you’re making sacrifice for Nigerians. If PDP is not there, which other party is ready to rescue Nigeria?”
Wike clarified that the Court of Appeal did not only dismiss the application of Secondus, but it also ordered that the PDP national convention be conducted unrestrained.
He said: “Our constitution provides that if a national chairman is removed, the deputy national chairman from that zone will immediately be the chairman or acting chairman as the case may be.
“And so, when Secondus was removed, he handed over to the acting national chairman now. So, the act has already been done, completed. So, what will the court say when someone is already acting and supervising that office?”
Wike said the PDP convention on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st October 2021 would be one of the best that had ever been conducted, adding that Nigerians were expecting PDP to come out of the convention more united.
Wike said the party, particularly the PDP governors, were more united because they had realised that Nigeria was in problem and only a united PDP could wrest power from the APC.
He said: “Nigeria is in problem and we cannot do it alone. We require everybody to work with us collectively and see how this country can be rescued.
“Nigerians are not happy with the ruling party, the way Nigerians are being treated. Like I’ve told everybody that there is nothing better than making sacrifice for the interest of the country. PDP is the only platform, and which it is today as the only opposition party that will rescue Nigeria.”
