Supreme Court Verdict: Game-Changer for Wike’s Suspension, Anyanwu’s Removal – Ugochinyere

Ikenga Ugochinyere, a member of the House of Representatives, argued that Friday’s Supreme Court decision provides a significant tool for the party to formally remove Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary and suspend Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
Speaking in a statement on Friday, he said that the decision confirmed that internal party activities were not justiciable, rendering Anyanwu’s future judicial efforts “baseless.”
The PDP National Working Committee (NWC) can now take disciplinary action, including implementing the Tom Ikimi Report recommendations that resulted in Anyanwu’s suspension.
“The Supreme Court judgement on the issue of PDP Secretary is a powerful weapon to help sack Anyanwu afresh, suspend [FCT Minister Nyesom] Wike, and rebuild the party,” Ugochinyere said in a statement.

He emphasized that with a majority of the 18-member NWC in favour of removing Anyanwu, his new ban would be permanent, even if contested in court.

“With this judgement, immediately the NWC meeting holds, and if it fails to hold, they should use their two-thirds to summon it and immediately, with their majority, invoke the powers of the NWC to act on behalf of NEC/National Convention in situations of extreme emergencies like this,” according to him.

He also advised PDP members not to be worried by the verdict, arguing that it does not automatically reinstall Anyanwu. Instead, he saw it as a strategic opportunity for the party’s leadership to “end the madness” and bring order to the opposition party.

In addition to Anyanwu, Ugochinyere advocated for disciplinary action against FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of years of “sabotage” against the party. He advised PDP leaders to remain firm and not be misled by external pressures.

“I commend the NWC members who have refused to be bought or compromised with Abuja land to remain strong and immediately use their majority to suspend/expel Anyanwu and his father Wike to bring to an end all this madness that has reduced once vibrant PDP and opposition to a helpless state,” he told journalists.
