Wike reminded Secondus that a similar vote of confidence did not save him from being removed as national chairman.

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has thrown a jibe at a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, over his support for the incumbent chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
Wike and some other southern governors are demanding Ayu’s resignation to ensure regional balance in the party’s structure.
But Ayu recently got a vote of confidence from members of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC).
On Saturday, while receiving defectors from other parties in Port Harcourt, Wike mocked Secondus for reportedly rejoicing over the NEC’s decision and reminded the former chairman that a similar vote of confidence did not save him.

Wike said: “I was listening and watching, they said there is one man they call Secondus. They said he was dancing, celebrating that NEC gave their person vote of confidence.
“He forgets history. Ask him the same NEC through Aliyu Babangida moved a motion of vote of confidence supported by the same person, Ndudi Elumelu. They gave you (Secondus) a vote of confidence, what happened? You left office.
“We don’t fight and go back. If you like you can have as many 20 votes of confidence, it’s not my business. My business is to make sure the right thing is done, and the right thing must be done. Whether today or tomorrow.”
Wike added that despite the political negotiations going on, his administration had not abandoned governance in the state.
