Anyanwu Unshaken, Holds Office as NWC Endorses Ude-Okoye

The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is still employed in the party’s Wadatta office in Abuja, according to Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Lere Olayinka, Special Media Advisor to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, said on Thursday during a video conference that Anyanwu was collaborating with his team and keeping an eye on anyone who could try to jump the fence.
Following an Enugu Appeal Court decision, it was reported that the PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT), presided over by Senator Adolphus Wabara, directed the National Working Committee to formally install Sunday Ude-Okoye as the party’s National Secretary.

On Wednesday, the party’s NWC swore in Ude-Okoye as its National Secretary, despite Senator Anywanwu rejecting the BoT’s order.
The NWC overwhelmingly recognizes, acknowledges, and confirms Rt. Hon. S.K.E. Udeh Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the PDP in full compliance and obedience to the Court of Appeal’s judgment after giving careful consideration to the memo and its attachments. It also acknowledges that there isn’t a preceding or superseding judgment or order from any court of higher authority or hierarchy.

The statement, which was signed by Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s national publicity secretary, stated that the NWC had begun transmitting its Resolution/Decision affirming Rt. Hon. S.K.E. Udeh Okoye as the PDP National Secretary to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other pertinent bodies for recognition in accordance with the Court of Appeal’s ruling.

Aynanwu still holds the office, though, according to the video call between Olayinka and Anyanwu that Olayinka shared on his X Twitter on Thursday.
