PDP national chairman speaks on resignation
Earlier, Secondus said he will not resign despite the mounting pressure. The PDP leader said the "minority" calling for his resignation should explain his offence.
The PDP national chairman made this known in a statement released in Abuja by his media aide, Ike Abonyi. The embattled party chieftain said he will remain focused and committed to the ideal of the opposition party.
Several PDP chieftains and groups have been demanding Secondus' resignation especially as the party recently lost some of its prominent members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
