PDP NWC Will Recognise Anyanwu As National Secretary – Damagun

The Acting National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amb Ilias Damagun has stated that the party will reinstate Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary inline with Supreme Court judgement.

Damagun disclosed this in a statement issued on by Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi in Abuja.

He refuted the claim of National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba who says the Party will continue to recognise Hon Udeh Okoye as National Secretary.

He said PDP National Working Committee cannot disregard or make gist of  judgement of the highest court in the court.

According to Abdullahi, I am directed by the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, HE Amb Umar Iliya Damagun, to REFUTE a misleading statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba shortly after Supreme Court delivered judgement in the case of Samuel Anyanwu Vs. Emmanuel Aniagu on Friday, March 21, 2025.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the statement of Debo Olagunagba does not reflect the position of the PDP and the NWC respectively. The public should please disregard the falsehood. It is pertinent to inform the public that at no time did the Supreme Court recognize Hon Udeh Okoye as National Secretary, but only described him as an “impostor” while the appellant, Emmanuel Aniagu as a “meddlesome Interloper” respectively.

“The NWC hereby distances itself from the CALCULATED FALSEHOOD aimed at achieving a predetermined objective, and to however, deceitfully mislead the public and PDP members

“It is worrisome that the National Publicity Secretary has, of late embarked on a frolic of his own by taking EXTREME and CONTRADICTORY opinions against the collective resolve of the NWC with a view to undermining its authority

“Members of the public, especially the PDP family, are hereby enjoyed to DISREGARD and DISCARD the publication, which is merely the figment of the NPS’s imagination”
