Background:
Uche Secondus has been the National Chairman of the PDP since 2017. However, his leadership has been marred by controversy and allegations of corruption. In recent months, there have been growing calls for his removal, with some members accusing him of being responsible for the party's poor performance in the 2019 general elections.
The PDP has been plagued by internal crises and factionalization, which has weakened its ability to effectively challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The party's crisis has also led to the loss of key members and supporters, who have defected to other parties or remained independent.
