The embattled National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus, has vowed never to resign.

The PDP Chairman gave reasons he would not resign his position in a statement signed by Ike Abonyi, his Special Assistant on Media on Monday.

Secondus pointed out that nothing so far warrants his resignation, urging those fighting him to come clean.

He said such people must tell members of the party across the country his offence and why he should resign.

“The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has said that he will not resign his position,” Abonyi said.

The SA said that Secondus said that nothing so far warrants his resignation from the party position.

He said “those tiny minority calling for his resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country his offence why he should resign.”

The party Chairman said he will remain focused and committed to the ideals of the party which he swore to protect and defend upon his election to lead this great party 44 months ago.

He decried the rate at which youths are involved in internet fraud, stressing that the trend portends danger for the future of the country Ayede said, “Youths have abandoned efforts to struggle to make it in life. “Internet fraud is not only limited to the educated ones, many youths now abandon their apprenticeship to go into yahoo. “In fact, out of every four youths, one is into yahoo”.

Chairman on the occasion and Deputy President General (South), Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, urged Muslims to allow the essence of Hijrah to have positive impacts in their daily lives by abandoning evil acts. “Beyond mere rhetoric, Hijrah should have a meaningful impact on us and we should always reflect that impact in all our actions and behaviours,” he said. NACOMYO Coordinator, Alhaji Dawood Afolabi said the theme for the programme “Security, peace building and National integration: Muslim Youths as agent of National Stability” was chosen as a result of the prevailing security situation in the country.
