Prince Uche Secondus, the newly elected national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its propaganda will not distract the opposition party under his watch. He described the governing APC as a broken government and praised former national chairman, Sen Ahmed Makarfi, for being firm in managing the party during its most trying period. Secondus assured that he has started the process of reconciling party members who feel aggrieved with his emergence and assured that there are no barriers for former party members who intend to return to the party. He also mentioned that party leaders at state and regional levels would have more powers to resolve conflicts, ensuring victory in 2019. The party's leadership will embark on a retreat soon and come up with policy statements. Former national chairman, Sen Ahmed Makarfi, urged the new leadership to continue pursuing reconciliation, stressing that he is handing over a party that has become a darling of Nigerians.
