The embattled national chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has said he will not resign his position, saying those members calling for his resignation are in the minority.

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Ike Abonyi, on Monday, the national chairman said that nothing warrants his resignation from the party position so far.

“Those tiny minority calling for my resignation should come clean and tell party members across the country my offence and why I should resign.”

Mr Secondus said that he would remain focused and committed to the ideals of the party which he swore to protect and defend upon his election to lead the party 44 months ago.
