The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has described as a huge loss to the democratic family and the country the demise of the two great leaders, the President Generals of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Pa Edwin Clark and the Pan Yoruba group, the Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo.
Prince Secondus noted that the exit of these great vocal advocates for democratic principles will leave a huge vacuum in the struggle for justice and equity in our society.
According to Prince Secondus, the two leaders of their ethnic nationalities stood out as outstanding patriots who desired the best for their country.
“They were courageous and detribalized and fought for justice, equity and fairness without sentiment of tribe, religion or geopolitical interests.”
The former PDP boss described the two leaders as shining examples of their generations in the display of selflessness in leadership.
Prince Secondus, however, noted that all glory should go to God almighty for granting them long ages of 96 and 97 and prayed for eternal rest for their souls while also praying for fortitude for their immediate family and the nation.
