Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, has hailed the resignation of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Adamu Muazu and the party's Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih, commending both men for putting the interest of the party and that of the nation above their personal interests and aspirations.
While wishing Muazu quick recovery, Governor Dickson said he looked forward to his return to the country in sound health to support in the on-going effort to rebuild the party. He also thanked Chief Tony Anenih for his years of service to the party.
A statement signed by Dickson's Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, also commended members of the party National Working Committee (NWC) for ratifying the resignation of both of men.
While commending the emergence of Uche Secondus as the acting national chairman, the governor urged all party leaders and members to rally round Secondus, noting that he has the experience and needed capacity to reposition the party and re-launch it back to reckoning, pending the time a substantive national chairman will be elected at the national convention of the party.
