With just two years to the next general election in Nigeria, the country’s major opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) appeared to be in a serious crisis as seven members of its National Working Committee (NWC) reportedly resigned from the body on Tuesday.
Those that quit the NWC on Tuesday include the party’s deputy national publicity secretary, deputy legal adviser and deputy women leader, among others.

The officials, according to sources, cited bad treatment, financial indiscipline, and poor leadership by the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; as the reasons for resigning from the party’s key organ.
The former Senate President, David Mark, and other party officials had a few weeks ago asked Secondus to step aside ahead of the 2023 elections.
It is earlier reported that, seven Deputy national officers made up of deputy national publicity secretary, deputy legal adviser, deputy women leader, amongst others, resigned their positions, citing “bad treatment” by the PDP national chairman.
They cited financial indiscipline and poor leadership as reasons for their resignation.
However, these are not the best of times for the Prince Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following the resignation of these seven national officers of the party.
