The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has congratulated the newly-elected National Chairman of the opposition – Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Prince Uche Secondus as well as other elected national officials of the party.

In his congratulatory statement this Tuesday, Oyegun expressed willingness to welcome responsible opposition and robust engagements from the Secondus-led PDP for the sake of Nigeria’s effective democracy.

“On behalf of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress APC, I congratulate the new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Prince Uche Secondus on his election at the PDP’s recent National Convention. I also congratulate other newly-elected PDP National Officials.

“It is my hope that the newly-elected PDP National Chairman will use his experience garnered over the years to ensure that the PDP assumes its role as a responsible opposition Party in the country”, Odigie-Oyegun said.

“Our Party wholeheartedly welcome opposition because we believe that democracy cannot thrive without a vibrant but responsible opposition that puts the nation first. This will often challenge you to balance partisan interests with overall national considerations.
