Amid ongoing internal crises, Samuel Anyanwu resumed duties on Monday as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asserting his position despite controversies surrounding his tenure. Arriving at the party’s national secretariat at 10:56 a.m., Anyanwu headed to his office, where he was received by his personal staff.
Addressing journalists shortly after resuming, Anyanwu dismissed statements made by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, regarding the recent Appeal Court judgment that recognized Sunday Okoye as the party’s National Secretary. “That is his opinion. It’s not the opinion of the party,” Anyanwu remarked, maintaining that the judgment had been appealed.
Anyanwu’s reassertion of his position comes at a time when the PDP is grappling with internal disagreements, which many believe threaten the party’s unity ahead of the 2027 general elections. Party insiders have noted the potential impact of the leadership tussle on its organizational stability, calling for urgent resolution.
The PDP’s National Secretariat remained calm during the day, with party officials closely monitoring the unfolding situation. Anyanwu’s firm stance signals a determination to retain his position amid legal and political challenges, while members and supporters await further developments.
