National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, says he would not join issues with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State over the latter’s recent outburst against him.
A release issued recently by Special Adviser to Prince Secondus, Ike Abonyi, said that the PDP chairman “considers whatever negative outburst against him from any quarters as one of the punches a leader must receive.”
The statement read, “The media office of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has been inundated with calls and inquiries on the outburst of the Rivers State Governor, Barr. Neysom Wike against the person and image of the National Chairman.

“Our response is that no amount of provocation will make the National Chairman join issues with any leader of the party talk less a state governor. To do that is to remove the toga of a leader of the party.
The impact of such response from National Chairman on the party will be worse than silence.
“The National Chairman considers whatever negative outburst against him from any quarters as one of the punches a leader must receive and endure to get stronger especially when truth is unhidden that Secondus is not a liar.”
