The Chairman of the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bro Felix Obuah, says with the election of Prince Uche Secondus as the National Chairman of the party, it is now stronger and better positioned to coast to victory in 2019.
Obuah said this in a statement on Sunday congratulating the new National Chairman.
He described Secondus as eminently qualified for the enormous responsibility having served the party in various capacities, which have prepared him with the requisite experience and skills for the task.
According to the Rivers PDP boss, as a former State Chairman, National Organizing Secretary and Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Secondus knows the areas of strength and challenges of the party, which would be exploited to determine the new policy direction with a view to strengthening, unifying and making it greater than ever.
While urging all the levels of the PDP leadership, members and supporters to rally round the new National Chairman, Obuah appealed to other party members yet to return to the fold to take advantage of the new national leadership under Secondus to do so and help accomplish the desire of majority of Nigerians to have the PDP back on the saddle of the national leadership.
He said: “I make no doubt about the ability and capabilities of our new National Chairman and his executive members not only because of their intimidating experiential credentials but also, are some of the strongest and most dependable democrats of Nigeria’s contemporary politics and will surely bring their wealth of experience to bear in our new PDP National Leadership.
“Again, the total trust and confidence reposed in them, I believe, will continue to serve as a source of inspiration to them to make extra efforts in forging a new sense of unity as never had before, among our Party faithful across the country.”
Congratulating Secondus and the entire National Executive Council members for their well deserved victories, Obuah also specially commended and thanked the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for making the State Chapter of the PDP proud and solidly standing behind and ensuring the victory of Secondus at the National Convention.
While also urging Secondus to continue to work for the good and progress of the party, Obuah said the party in Rivers State will continue to pray God to grant him the strength, good health and wisdom to discharge his duties creditably, expressing optimism that victory belongs to the PDP in 2019 general elections.
