Anyanwu remains PDP National Secretary - S/West Stakeholders Forum

 Anyanwu remains PDP National Secretary - S/West Stakeholders Forum 

A pressure group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South West Stakeholders Forum has insisted that Senator Samuel Anyanwu is the authentic National Chairman of the party. 

The forum said its insistence was based on the recent  Supreme Court ruling on the scramble for the national scribe seat .

Alhaji Kola Ajayi, coordinator of the South West PDP Stakeholders Forum in a statement on Sunday said there is no ambiguity in the apex court ruling but blamed people with biased mind for self serving interpretation of the judgement.

The forum said it does not recognize the choice of any other person as PDP national secretary. 

The statement issued by Ajayi read "we members of the South West Stakeholders Forum as a group interested in the growth of our great party are concerned in the recent development relating to the position of the National Secretary. 

"We are convinced that there is no crisis as far as the position is concerned because Senator Samuel Anyanwu is the authentic National Secretary of the party.

Any other person is an impostor.

"The Supreme Court judgement has vindicated Senator  Anyanwu. So, we do not recognize Hon. Sunday Ude Okoye or anyone in acting capacity by the name Arc. Setonji Koshedo.

"We blame the misunderstanding on this position on the leadership of the party who are not firm enough in implementing the Supreme Court judgement".

The forum appealed to the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) to let the status quo remain by allowing Senator Anyanwu in office till the expiration of the current NWC.

"The national convention is around the corner, we are appealing to the party leadership not to aggravate the crisis within the party but allow the status quo remain while working internally to resolve differences at the national level and state chapters," said Ajayi

The forum expressed confidence that PDP will flourish after the national convention and the party will be repositioned strongly ahead of the 2027 general election

The Corporate image of Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu

 The Corporate image of Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu 

By Adm. Emmanuel Mba (Acia)

Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu is now a household name in national politics and as well as Imo state politics this is by the virtue of him been the present national secretary of peoples Democratic party, a former senator in the 8th Assembly and the governorship candidate of the party in the last election in Imo state.

Him been the political leader of peoples Democratic party in the state was born out of  dedication and commitment to party as a grassroot politician who grew from the ranks  by the virtue of service held in various capacity, as local government chairman Ikiduru LGA , one time  Senator of federal republic of Nigeria (2015), in 2021 was elected the national secretary of peoples Democratic party for one tenure of (4) four years

Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu has built an excellent reputation and  good character in the discharge of his duties at every given time he has been privileged to serve his people and the party at large. But it appears that certain individuals within the peoples Democratic party have become addicted to misinformation, thriving on the toxic diet of deceit, forgery, and propaganda just to destroy the reputation of great man who has done no evil whatsoever. Their desperation has now reached laughable proportions, as evidenced by the latest concocted tale by Darlington Ukachukwu and his cohorts falsely accusing supporters of Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu of forging a memo.

Let it be known today that no amount of lies, no volume of fake memos, and no amount of coordinated media smear campaign can jeopardize distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s record of service, loyalty to the party, or grassroots credibility and presence. Rather what we are witnessing is a classic case of political insecurity on the part of some party leaders, where the only strategy left to them is to attempt character assassination through forged narratives and imaginary scandals.

The recent claims published against Senator Anyanwu are not only false but an insult to the intelligence of discerning Nigerians. If indeed a memo was forged, then those responsible should be investigated and exposed not conveniently pinned on Anyanwu or his supporters without a shred of evidence. Accusation is not proof, and propaganda is not fact.

The peoples Democratic party is too great a party to be reduced to a circus of forgers pointing fingers at loyal party men, while the real enemies of the party hide behind headlines and anonymous authors. It is ironic that those peddling these lies accuse others of forgery while continually forging stories to sway public opinion.

This campaign of calumny against Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu must end now . These fabricators must understand that no matter how many times a lie is repeated, it will never become truth. The people are watching. The party is watching. And history has never been kind to those who traded integrity for propaganda.

If anyone must be cautioned, it should be those who think that by orchestrating media trials and spreading fake documents, they can overturn due process and the collective wisdom of party structures, their illegalities are becoming too obvious. We shall continue to beam our  eagle eyes on their activities and in no short time they will be disgraced

Because the man whom they seek his downfall is a man of grace and integrity, remember to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

2027: A Display of Leadership and Steadfastness from Damagum, Anyanwu, and Saraki

 2027: A Display of Leadership and Steadfastness from Damagum, Anyanwu, and Saraki

Over the Easter break, Ambassador Umar Damagum, the PDP Acting National Chairman, ventured to Yobe State, engaging in extensive stakeholder meetings. As a native son, Damagum commanded impressive gatherings at each session, spanning the state to his local and ward levels. He ignited PDP morale, emphasizing the party’s cohesion and strength both in Yobe and nationwide. He welcomed defectors from the APC and NNPP, boldly declaring the PDP's readiness to dethrone the APC across Nigeria, starting in Yobe.

Simultaneously, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, the National Secretary and 2023 Imo gubernatorial candidate, convened a vibrant stakeholder meeting in Owerri. A royal celebration in his honor ensued, marking his Supreme Court affirmation as National Secretary. Like Damagum, Anyanwu underscored PDP unity and power. Furthermore, similar gatherings erupted across Imo’s senatorial districts, especially his own Owerri district, immediately after the state-level event. Anyanwu, too, vowed PDP's determination to unseat the APC in Imo and beyond.

During Ramadan, Dr. Bukola Saraki hosted an Iftar for Kwara PDP stakeholders, showcasing the party's might and reinforcing its unity. Saraki further asserted the PDP's resolve to reclaim Kwara and the nation from the APC. Just recently, he publicly reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the PDP in his reaction to defection of the Governor of Delta State and rumored defection of other Governors.

These leaders' exemplary conduct sets a standard that other PDP figures should follow. Like Damagum, Anyanwu and Saraki, other Party leaders must begin to connect with the grassroots to ensure no effort is spared in our mission to oust the APC. Our unity must always be emphasized as the party is no longer in crisis. May God bless the aforementioned trio for their efforts and leadership.

 Senator Anyanwu Donates Multi-million Property to Kinsmen, Offers 100m for Construction

Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has donated plots of lands for the construction of Computer Based Test Center for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and a digital computer learning center to Amaimo Progressive Forum as part of contributions for the development of the community.

Also, Anyanwu constructed a four bedroom bungalow, and offered monetary assistance for the construction of Amaimo Progressive Forum Secretariat and youths empowerment valued over N100 million respectively in a bid to create a modern opportunity for the people of the communuty.

According to him, aside from the lands, building, computers and security gadgets, he disclosed that over 50 Amaimo indigenes are currently enjoying his full scholarship in various tertiary institutions in the country, with others benefiting from his bursary allowances.

Senator Anyanwu known for genuine philanthropy further promised to rehabilitate the general hospital in Amaimo, Ikeduru LGA built by the federal government but abandoned by successive administrations in the state. 

Speaking during a thank you visit, President of the forum, Hon Nnamdi Iheoma thanked Senator Anyanwu for making the organization proud and assured him of their readiness to reciprocate the gesture anytime their supports were needed.

According to him, an erstwhile PDP candidate for the Ikeduru LGA Chairmanship candidate in the last Imo LGA election, "Senator Anyanwu has demonstrated high level of patriotism showing the level of love he has for the citizens."

In a letter signed by the Secretary of the forum, Chief Uwa Edward Emeka and obtained by newsmen, the forum expressed its deepest appreciation for Senator Anyanwu's incredible generous donations, adding that such assistance was a demonstration of his unwavering commitment to the development of the society.

Chief Uwa further maintained that the lands donated would provide a valuable asset for the organization by enabling them to establish a befitting Secretariat, CBT center for JAMB examination, a digital computer learning center, as well as expand the forum's programmes in line with their vision for development.

Adding his voice, former President General of the Forum, Sir Ugo Ashiegbu, and Nze Chima Ejiogu respectively expressed gratitude to Senator Anyanwu, assuring him that the forum would do everything possible to put good use of the items offered to them.

The duo further called on other leaders in the community and by extension, Ikeduru local government to emulate the generosity of Senator Anyanwu for societal development, adding that the act showes that the National Secretary of PDP believes that charity begins at home.

"PDP is united and poised to reclaim power in 2027" - Amb. Umar Damagum, Acting National Chairman, PDP.

 "PDP is united and poised to reclaim power in 2027" - Amb. Umar Damagum, Acting National Chairman, PDP.

"PDP is fully prepared to seize victory in the 2027 general election" - Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary, PDP.

This is the voice of true leadership. They ignite hope and rally the party’s rank and file, sidestepping any real or imagined challenges to focus on building a stronger party.

Ambassador Damagum spent all of last week in Yobe State, not just only in the capital but in his hometown and LGA, energizing PDP members and stakeholders, offering direction, lifting spirits, and rekindling their hope.

Senator Anyanwu was in Imo State last week, captivating a diverse crowd of stakeholders, inspiring them, and declaring PDP stronger than ever in the state and across the country.

This is leadership in motion, building momentum without dwelling on any obstacles.

The National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has called on the PDP Governors forum to immediately reverse the draconian resolution

 The National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has called on the PDP Governors forum to immediately reverse the draconian resolution

on the appointment of Acting National Secretary for party, while warning of dire consequences of such action.

Senator Anyanwu, while describing the decision of the Governors as unconditional, pointed out that, the PDP constitution clearly stipulates how a national officer of the party can be elected, appointed, replaced or removed from the office.

Anyanwu, speaking through his spokesperson, Comrade Daboikiabo Z. Warmate, via a statement issued in Abuja, warned the party’s Governors forum against further violations of the Supreme Court judgement and the PDP Constitution.

Comrade Warmate, apparently reacting to Forum’s decision described it as abbreviation and in total violation of PDP Construction.

He said, “Today’s (Monday) governors forum resolution 2 in their communique is an unconstitutional declaration of a state of emergency and a coup de tat against members of our great party the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“It is imperative to reiterate that most distinguished Senator Samuel nnaemeka Anyanwu, at no point resign his position as the National Secretary and so remains the national secretary of PDP inconsonance with the supreme court judgement and the PDP Constitution.

“The PDP constitution clearly stipulates how a national officer of the party can be elected, appointed, replaced or removed in line with sections 45, 47, 49, 57 and 59. Senator Samuel nnaemeka Anyanwu has neither resigned nor the office of the national secretary vacant to warrant an acting national secretary or a call for a replacement. It is the National Convention that is saddled with the sole authority to appoint or remove national officers.

“Therefore , the PDP Governors Forum’s recommendation, directly and indirectly contradicts and violate all relevant sections of the PDP constitution. Right now the PDP governors forum is acting like they are the national working committee (NWC) and have usurped the powers of the NWC, NEC and convention.

“The governors forum lacks the constitution powers to impose on the party its decisions most especially an unpopular one at that. The governors forum should go resolve personal rift with the FCT Minister and not drag the position of the national secretary in to it.

“I urge the governors forum not to allow their ego and proxy war to exacerbate the already existing tension in the party that is a product of their misguided actions.

“You cannot have a substitutive national secretary in the person of senator Samuel Anyanwu and appoint the deputy national secretary as an acting national secretary, it’s nonsensical. Although based on our party’s constitution, all they have said are nothing more than a suggestion. Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu remains the authentic national secretary till December 2025.

“I condemn and reject in totality the resolution 2 of the communique of the PDP governors forum today. The governor Bala Muhammad led PDP Governors Forum should be held responsible if, our great party fails to meet the expectations of Nigerians.

“The governors are making our great party a laughing stock, for example you saw the laughable narrative being pushed in some quarters that the PDP Governors Forum has affirm Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as national secretary who’s not even a party to the suite filed from the Enugu high court, appeal court Enugu division and supreme court judgements.

“I therefore, urge the PDP governors forum to immediately reverse their draconian resolution 2 because it runs contrary to the Supreme Court judgement, the PDP constitution and it’s unpopular and the consequences will be severe if not withdrawn.”

PDP: A Shaking Umbrella

 PDP: A Shaking Umbrella

The recent communiqué from the Governors' Forum, recommending the Deputy National Secretary to act as the National Secretary, has triggered massive and negative reactions among party faithful. Many believe that the Supreme Court judgment had already put to rest all issues surrounding the position of the National Secretary.

So, we must ask: Who are the PDP Governors really working for?

Is it the party—or the opposition?

From all indications, their actions and inactions seem to be threatening the peace and stability that currently exists within the party. I strongly urge them to redirect their energy toward restoring peace, reconciliation, and progress in the PDP.

We need everyone on board to win in 2027.

Yes, I understand that pride and ego may have influenced these recommendations. But let us remember:

It takes a lot to build, but very little to destroy.

We need PEACE in the PDP.

We need LOVE in the PDP.

We need UNITY to REBUILD the PDP.

Let us come together and move forward.

Concerned Nigerian Youth Stand Against PDP Governors Forum’s Move to Replace Samuel Anyanwu*

 *Concerned Nigerian Youth Stand Against PDP Governors Forum’s Move to Replace Samuel Anyanwu*

 We, the Concerned Nigerian Youth, rise today with one voice to vehemently oppose the PDP Governors Forum’s audacious recommendation to replace Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This recommendation, announced on April 14, 2025, is not only a direct affront to justice but also a shameless attempt to undermine the rule of law and the will of the party’s grassroots supporters.

Let it be clear: The Supreme Court of Nigeria has already declared Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the authentic National Secretary of the PDP. This ruling is final, binding, and a testament to his legitimacy as a leader within the party. Yet, despite this unequivocal judicial affirmation, the PDP Governors Forum has chosen to push for his replacement with a temporary appointee. This move, as reported by Sahara Reporters and other credible sources, is nothing short of political recklessness and an insult to the judiciary and the Nigerian people.

Senator Anyanwu has proven himself a loyal and resilient leader, steering the party through turbulent times with unwavering dedication. His tenure as National Secretary is a beacon of hope for millions of PDP supporters, especially the youth, who see in him a commitment to fairness and party unity. For the Governors Forum to attempt to unseat him now after the Supreme Court has spoken is a brazen display of impunity that threatens the very soul of the PDP.

We ask the Governors Forum: On what grounds do you defy the Supreme Court? Why do you seek to destabilize the party with actions that contradict the law and alienate its base? This is not leadership; it is a power grab dressed up as a recommendation. The PDP cannot afford to lose its credibility or its connection with the people over the ambitions of a few.

To the PDP leadership,

Governors Forum, Board of Trustees, and National Working Committe, we deliver this message: Respect the Supreme Court’s ruling. Honor Senator Anyanwu’s rightful position as National Secretary. Cease this unnecessary crisis and focus on rebuilding the party ahead of future challenges. To our fellow Nigerians, we urge you to stand with us in condemning this overreach. The PDP must remain a party of the people, not a playground for the powerful.

The Concerned Nigerian Youth will not stand by while the rule of law is trampled and the future of our party is jeopardized. We proudly stand with Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the Supreme Court-recognized National Secretary, and we call for a PDP rooted in justice, unity, and the aspirations of all Nigerians.

PDP Governors’ Forum’s Overreach and Its Implications for Party Democracy

 PDP Governors’ Forum’s Overreach and Its Implications for Party Democracy

The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) held its 4th meeting in 2025 in Ibadan, issuing resolutions that directly encroach upon the constitutional powers of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and National Executive Committee (NEC). While some decisions appear strategic, others violate the PDP Constitution, undermine internal democracy, and threaten the party’s cohesion ahead of the 2027 elections.

This summary critically examines the unconstitutional actions of the Governors’ Forum, their implications for party supremacy, and the urgent need for the NWC—led by Acting Chairman Amb. Umar Damagum—to reclaim its authority.

Key Issues & Constitutional Violations. Usurpation of NWC/NEC Powers. The PDP Constitution (2017) explicitly assigns critical functions to the NWC and NEC, including: Appointing acting officers (e.g., National Secretary) – Article 47(6). Constituting committees (Zoning, Convention) – Article 29(2)(b). Convening NEC meetings & setting convention dates – Articles 31 & 33.

The Governors’ Forum unilaterally recommended the Deputy National Secretary to act without NWC/NEC approval.They pre-selected members for the Zoning & Convention Committees, a role reserved for the NWC proposing and NEC ratifying. They fixed the NEC meeting (May 27) and Convention dates (August 28-30)—powers belonging to NEC, not Governors.

This undermines party hierarchy, making the NWC a rubber-stamp body rather than an independent administrative organ. Unconstitutional Meddling in Party Affairs The Forum’s actions constitute interference because The Governors’ Forum is not a recognized organ in the PDP Constitution—its role is advisory, not binding.

No constitutional provision allows Governors to impose committee structures or override NWC/NEC decisions. The NWC is the administrative engine of the party, yet the Governors are dictating terms, weakening institutional governance.

If unchecked, this sets a dangerous precedent where elected officials (Governors) hijack party structures, sidelining democratic processes Deliberate Weakening of the Party.

The Forum’s moves suggest a long-term strategy to Centralize power under Governors, reducing the NWC’s influence. Undermine Acting Chairman Damagum, making him subservient to Governors’ interests. Create factional loyalty, where party decisions flow from Governors rather than constitutional organs. This could lead to internal rebellion (e.g., BoT, National Assembly Caucus rejecting decisions), further fragmenting the PDP.

The Forum’s rejection of the Supreme Court’s judgment (on the National Secretary) is hypocritical. They claim to oppose "rape of democracy" (State of Emergency in Rivers) yet disregard the Supreme Court’s authority on party matters. Instead of complying with the Court’s decision, they recommended an acting secretary, effectively circumventing the ruling. This erodes public trust in the PDP’s commitment to rule of law and judicial independence.

The PDP Constitution does not recognize the Governors’ Forum as a decision-making body. Its resolutions are non-binding unless adopted by the NWC/NEC. The NWC must publicly clarify that Governors’ decisions are mere suggestions, not directives.

The Deputy National Secretary cannot act without NWC nomination and NEC ratification (Article 47(6). The Governors’ declaration is unconstitutional and null/void. If enforced, this could lead to legal battles, further destabilizing the party.

As long as Samuel Anyanwu is alive, competent, and has not formally resigned or been constitutionally removed, no individual or group has the authority to replace him. His position remains valid under the law and the governing documents of PDP. Any attempt to install another person as National Secretary is null, void, and of no effect.

There is no vacancy in the office of the National Secretary, and any purported appointment or election of a replacement is illegal and unacceptable.

A competent court of jurisdiction, the Federal High Court in Abuja, has issued a restraining order barring any individual or group from parading themselves or acting in the capacity of National Secretary without the express approval of Samuel Anyanwu. The position of National Secretary is not vacant, and Samuel Anyanwu remains the only authorized occupant of the office.

We urge all members, stakeholders, and the public to disregard any false claims regarding the position of the National Secretary. Samuel Ayanwu is, and remains, the legitimate National Secretary.

The Acting National Chairman risks complicity if he does not Publicly reject the Governors’ unconstitutional overreach. Convene an emergency NWC/NEC meeting to reassert party supremacy. Nullify all illegal appointments (acting secretary, pre-selected committees). Sanction Governors attempting to undermine the party’s constitution.

If Damagum remains silent, he enables a creeping dictatorship, setting a disastrous precedent for future NWC leaders.

The Governors’ Forum’s overreach is a direct attack on the PDP’s constitutional order. If the NWC, led by Damagum, fails to act, the party risks Total erosion of internal democracy, Factionalization ahead of 2027, Loss of credibility as a democratic alternative to APC.

The time to reclaim party supremacy is NOW. The NWC must rise to the occasion or risk historical blame for the PDP’s decline.

YOUTHS TO PDP GOVERNORS FORUM: DO NOT BRING THE PDP TO RIDICULE

 YOUTHS TO PDP GOVERNORS FORUM: DO NOT BRING THE PDP TO RIDICULE

The ongoing tension between some PDP governors and the party’s National Working Committee particularly the authentic National Secretary Sen. Samuel Anyanwu stems from a mix of personal loyalties and party politics. Sen. Samuel Anyanwu’s reinstatement by the Supreme Court in March 2025 confirmed his position as the authentic national Secretary of the party, yet some governors, reportedly upset over his ties or friendship with the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, have pushed for his ouster as against the party’s constitution. 

They have even suggested an acting secretary, which the youths of the party on seeing such draconian recommendation have vehemently kicked against as overstepping their authority under the PDP constitution.

As party faithfuls, we must all understand that the Governors Forum is not a constitutionally recognized arm of the party but they serve as pressure group within the party. 

Forcing Anyanwu out risks deepening the PDP’s internal crisis. The party is already struggling-look at Anambra, where no one bought governorship forms for 2025 Guber Election due to the chaos until the very last minute. Governors like Bala Mohammed and others have a point about needing unity, but targeting Anyanwu seems more like a proxy war of witch hunt targeted at his person rather than a principled stand. Sen. Anyanwu has been clear about his unshaken commitment to the PDP as above all sentiments. Being friends with the FCT minister is not a crime plus he has got a legal mandate as a constitutionally elected National Secretary of the party whose tenure only elapses in December of 2025.

On the flip side, governors have ceremonial grip about the party’s direction. The PDP has been bleeding relevance since 2023, and the party is desperate to avoid a repeat in 2027. Some see Anyanwu as a symbol of the old guard tied to Wike but forgetting that he is a man of his own, strong willed and belong to a class of elite and well respected politicians in the country. 

Here is the thing; kicking out a Supreme court-backed National Secretary won’t fix the rot created by the same interest driven governors. It will only spark more lawsuits and defections, handing rivals like the APC an easy win in any elections going forward.

The smart play is de-escalation. Governors should focus on real reforms which include legitimate congresses, fundraising, grassroots mobilization and not this vendetta against the personality of Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, a man who has always fought for the progress of the PDP.

What should be well echoed in the ears of all Nigerians as well as PDP supporters at a time like this is that Sen. Samuel Anyanwu is not the problem of the PDP.

The PDP’s bigger enemy is its own disarray and selfish interest governors who have literally sold out the 2027 presidential election to Tinubu and the APC yet they accuse someone else of sabotage.

As stated by a political commentator on his X handle @HonShield, “Chatting with a former PDP Governor who is currently holding a revered position in the Party, he told me, "Shield, 7 of our Governors are with Tinubu".

Shouldn’t the people demand accountability from these set of governors rather than creating an infighting within the PDP where there is none?

THE CONSEQUENCES OF ILLEGALITY

 THE CONSEQUENCES OF ILLEGALITY 

By Adm. Emmanuel Mba 

The PDP Governors forum should know that they are only a pressure group in the party and can not decide for the party who the national secretary of the party is, not even when the supreme Court has affirmed Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National secretary of the party. 

If they can't help stabilize the party they should just leave the party united and go somewhere else to seek relevance or better still decamp to Apc and leave us in peace rather than this commotion they are causing in the party with these there unpopular decisions.

They should know that there is no vacancy in the NWC especially in the position of the National Secretary , they should seat up from there mis given and humbly accept the supreme Court position on the issue of national secretary which granted all senator Samuel Anyanwu prayers thereby affirming him as the National secretary of the party.

The constitution of the party made it clear that a national officer can only be removed through a national convention or the case of death replacement, anything outside these is a nullity and if over stretched will result to PDP not having candidates across board 

in all elections 

come 2027 and this will be courtesy PDP Governors forum.

Remember every action especially illegal actions comes with a commensurate consequences.

PDP Governors forum remember to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

DON'T DRAWN AFRICA'S LARGEST PARTY ( PDP)

 DON'T DRAWN AFRICA'S LARGEST PARTY ( PDP) 

A COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE MEETING  BY VOICE OUT WOMEN (VOW) ON THE 14TH DAY OF APRIL 2025 AT FRASIER SUITES ABUJA, NIGERIA.

LATEST EVENTS IN THE PDP.  That with the latest happenings in the party the AG National chairman Amb. Iliya Damagun should rise up to the occasion of this time bomb ticking to explode , how can we see a time bomb right on time and let it explode? No! Stand up to these Governors with the backing up of the PDP constitution, let our governors know they're in the wrong . Reject the recommendations of the governors forum, for It is completely unconstitutional.

2.We call on the deputy national secretary not to allow himself to be used as a tool to destroy the party, don't let the governors who have temporal & chosen amnesia, who have refused to respect the rule of law mislead you.

3.It is crystal clear at this point that the aim of the PDP governors forum is to weaken the party. The governor of Oyo State clearly did not support the party in it's 2023 presidential elections, attending such a meeting by a host who was PDAPC just a moment ago should have been a no no even for the party leadership. We do not call our elders to our homes because we are buoyant to resolve the crisis,  we go to the elders in the village to resolve the crisis. Where is the village? PDP secretariat Wadata.

4.The governors forum is not constitutionally recognised by the party but known as a forum where the governors meet to discuss issues affecting their various states, and how to strengthen the party structure in their various states.Let us hear more of the giant strides our governors are making in their states instead of becoming a full extension of the NWC.

5.Part of the reasons the governors gave for recommending the deputy national secretary was the fear of losing out in the upcoming gubernatorial elections in Anambra State, which we strongly disagree with. We call on the acting National chairman to stop this mirage now. Where is Sentoji from? Have you not completely thrown the Eastern region out, if these are truly the fears of the governors forum. Sen. Samuel Anyanwu is the PDP national secretary. He is sound, hale and hearty. Stop the governors who are mostly in their second term and at the exit from  

razing down our party before they exit...

*United We Are, The Umbrella Is Big Enough*

 

Since mid-2022, the Peoples Democratic Party has weathered a series of internal challenges, emerging stronger each time. This resilience is a testament to the wisdom and steady leadership of Ambassador Umar Damagum, the Acting National Chairman, who has guided the party through turbulent waters with remarkable skill since assuming leadership in March 2023.

Recently, the PDP faced a contentious dispute over the National Secretary position. The Supreme Court, in a landmark ruling, affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the rightful occupant, overturning earlier judgments by the Enugu High Court and the Court of Appeal. Those lower courts had favored one Emmanuel Aniagwu, with a former youth leader positioned as the beneficiary. Beyond resolving this specific contest, the Supreme Court’s decision, as detailed in the certified true copy of the ruling, has reinforced the pillars of internal democracy, the rule of law, due process, and party supremacy within the PDP. This victory is not just for Senator Anyanwu or his supporters. The victory is for the party as a whole, including the other parties to the suit.

With this chapter now closed, the task before us is for PDP members to solidify their unity under the big umbrella and channel our collective resolve toward a successful National Convention that will appoint officers to the National Working Committee for the 2025-2029 NWC term. 

In Nigeria today, the PDP remains a formidable force, and the umbrella is big enough to accommodate all who desire a progressive Nigeria. Therefore, PDP members must seize the opportunity to reclaim Nigeria in 2027 and restore power
