Others were Youth Leader, S. K. Udeh-Okoye; Vice Chairman (SW), Taofiq Arapaja; Vice Chairman (SE), Ali Odefa; Vice Chairman (SS), Dan Orbih, and Vice Chairman (NC), Chief Theophilus Dakas.
“The matter of his resignation was put to vote, six members voted that he should resign and three members abstained from voting,” the communique read.
Six NWC members who voted against Secondus were Nazif, Mustapher, Udeh- Okoye, Arapaja, Orbih and Odefa.
