Saturday 4th December 2021: The Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, will on Wednesday, hold its valedictory session.
Reports say that the session which will be held at the PDP National Secretariat, will provide an opportunity for outgoing members of the NWC to review their activities and put finishing touches to their handover notes.
Former chairman, Secondus is facing a subsisting court order barring him from parading himself as national chairman and is unlikely to attend the event.
New Chairman, Iyiochia Ayu-led incoming administration is set to take over on December 10 as the tenure of the outgoing NWC officially ends on December 9.
 Outgoing National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, confirmed the valedictory session, saying “Yes, we will be holding our valedatory session on Wednesday, by God’s grace.” 
A High Court in Rivers State presided over by Justice O. Gbasam of the Degema Judicial Division vacation court, sitting in Port Harcourt, had on August 23, 2021, granted the order.
This was sequel to the consideration of an ex parte application in suit No: PHC/2183/CS/2021 filed by Ibeabuchi Alex, Dennis Amadi, Emmanuel Stephen and Umezirike Onucha against Uche Secondus (1st defendant) and the PDP (2nd defendant).
Barely 24 hours later, the Deputy National Chairman (South), Yomi Akinwonmi, issued a statement declaring himself as the acting national chairman in the absence of Secondus, citing Section 45 (2) of the PDP constitution.
