PDP reinstates Anyanwu as national secretary, suspends June 30 NEC meeting
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday in a turn of event, announced the reinstatement of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the national secretary of the party, following a meeting held with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
The party, while announcing Anyanwu’s reinstatement, also canceled its planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting earlier scheduled for June 30.
At a press conference held at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum described the choice as challenging yet widely endorsed by key party stakeholders. He was joined by influential figures such as Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and former Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Damagum declared, “Senator Samuel Anyanwu has been reinstated in the NWC. It was a difficult decision, and it was accepted by many members of the party led by the organs of the party.”
He further outlined the plans for an expanded Caucus, noting that a significant decision leading to the NEC would arise from this assembly. “Anyanwu is resuming as the National Secretary, that is why I said it was a critical decision. Like INEC said, they don’t have our notice, so what we will have on June 30th is an expanded Caucus.”
