Drama as PDP denies forging Anyanwu’s signature ahead of November convention

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied the allegations of signature forgery raised by its National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, while addressing a press conference on behalf of the NWC in Abuja, on Monday, insisted that the party insisted Anyanwu personally signed the letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission announcing the party’s forthcoming November national convention in the presence of state governors, NWC members and others, slated for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.

According to Ologunagba, the letters were signed just hours before the 102nd National Executive Committee meeting held on August 25, adding that the signing took place in the presence of key party figures such as Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde; Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke; Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal; former Minister of Special Duties Tanimu Turaki, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, among others.

Ologunagba further noted that during the NEC meeting, Governor Bala Mohammed, who chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, confirmed that all relevant letters, including the one to INEC, had been duly signed.
