The embattled National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Samuel Anyanwu says he is the authentic holder of the office.
Anyanwu made this declaration when he appeared on ‘Nigeria Right Now,’ a current affairs programme anchored by Dickson Iroegbu.
PDP is embroiled in a fresh crisis as both Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye, a chieftain of the party, are laying claim to the position of the national secretary.
The Court of Appeal in December ruled that Ude-Okoye should replace Anyanwu as the PDP national secretary.
Recall that the south-east zonal executive committee of the party nominated Udeh-Okoye to replace Anyanwu after he became the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Imo in 2023.
Anyanwu was said to have obtained several court injunctions preventing his removal from office.
However, in a judgment delivered on December 20, 2024, the Appeal Court judge, Ridwan Abdullahi, dismissed the judgment of the high court, which prevented Anyanwu’s removal, for lacking in merit”.
Following the judgment, Ude-Okoye has been parading himself as the national secretary of the party.
Speaking, however, Anyanwu said he appealed the judgment and also filed for a stay of execution at the supreme court on the same day the appeal court delivered the verdict in favour of Ude-Okoye.
