A leading chairmanship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has assured party members and supporters nationwide that the party under his watch will enforce internal democracy.

In a statement by the media unit of the Uche Secondus Campaign Organization, the former Acting National Chairman said his mantra and ideology as a chairman will revolve around democratic norms in the management of the party from chapter leadership to fielding of candidates for elective offices.

He said: “Internal democracy strengthens a political party; it is the essential oil for the survival of any party organization. We will not joke with the rights of our members to decide on issues in line with the constitution of the party.

“We will ensure that the party constitution is adhered to in letter and in spirit. As a leading opposition party, this mantra of internal democracy is a must for us especially in our drive to take over governance of the country by 2019. We need all leaders and members on board to build a mass movement that will unseat this failed government.

“We are fully aware of the state of our party especially across the state chapters. We will consolidate on the good and make amends on what is bad.”
