Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) will not need to resign, Acting Chairman Uche Secondus said yesterday.
National Chairman Adamu Muazu and Board of Trustees (BOT) chair, Chief Tony Anenih resigned on Wednesday.
Many members of the party called for their resignation and the NWC members following the failure of the party in the general elections.
Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, he said that there is no reason for any of the remaining NWC members to resign as they all have their tenures running.
He also explained that Muazu was not forced to resign from the position.
He said: “You know that is not right, it is unconstitutional, because the chairman did that voluntarily, and the BoT Chairman also did that voluntarily. Some of the others have tenures. At the end of our tenure, if we are re-elected, fine; if not, that is the right thing to do.
“There is no reason for us to resign because we have worked hard.”
On the coincidence of the resignation of both the national chairman and the BoT chairman, she said: “Sometimes, it happens that way. Nobody forced them to go.”
Explaining the purpose of his visit to the Villa, he said: “I just came here to interact with our leader, Mr. President.”
On the future of the party, he said: “Sitting back to reorganise and then re-invent our party, and to assure our teeming supporters and members that the party is intact without any problem.”
