Why PDP NEC Reinstated Anyanwu As National Secretary?

The National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party has reinstated Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the national secretary.

Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum disclosed this while addressing journalists after PDP NEC meeting held in Abuja on Monday

Damagum further revealed that the 101st NEC meeting has been scheduled for July 23 to finalise arrangements for the upcoming national convention.

The PDP has been struggling with internal conflicts since the 2023 presidential election, which have significantly impacted all arms of the party.

He stated, “I am here to brief you on the outcome of our interaction with NEC as regards the National Secretary.

“We’ve all combined in one, we were all together, and we all agree that Senator Anyanwu will continue to act as National Secretary.

“And also to bring the issue of the convention to bring it up in the next NEC, which is slated for the 23rd of next month

“At that time, we will be able to convene a proper NEC, where myself and Senator Anyanwu will sign, which is to fulfill the regulatory requirement of INEC in convening meetings.

“So, to our detractors who thought this meeting would go on course or perhaps be the end of the party, the beauty of the Peoples Democratic Party is that it is the only party in this country that has and knows the internal mechanism to solve its own problems and run freely.”
