National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus on Thursday visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Secondus arrived at the Penthouse of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Abeokuta in company with other leaders of the party around 12:19pm.
Immediately after his arrival, the PDP Chairman went into a closed-door meeting with Obasanjo.
The visit is coming at a time when some leaders of the party are calling for the chairman’s removal.
Last week, there were protests at the National Secretariat of the PDP in Abuja, as party members asked Secondus to resign.
However, Secondus has said he would not resign his position as the Chairman of the party.
The National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, is currently at the Abeokuta, Ogun State, residence of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He is battling to keep his seat following the crisis rocking Nigeria’s top opposition party.
A crack had emerged in the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) two weeks ago, after the resignation of some officials and calls for Secondus’ resignation by some NWC members.
Leaders of the PDP comprising of governors, Board of Trustees(BoT), National Assembly caucus, however, intervened last week Tuesday.
After a resolution of the crisis, the PDP leaders agreed that the party’s national convention should hold in October to elect a new leadership.
But Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, where Secondus hails form has insisted on a change of leadership in the opposition party.
Although Governor Wike was instrumental to Secondus’ emergence, the duo fell out as a result of power tussle.
Although Former President Obasanjo has announced his withdrawal from partisan politics, he has a huge influence in the PDP.
