The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State has urged members to disregard reports making the rounds that the National Working Committee of the party has sacked Samuel Anyanwu as the national scribe of the party.
The State leadership of the party, through its publicity secretary, Lancelot Obiaku, stated that the report is nothing but fake news, fabricated by individuals who have taken it upon themselves to misinform the public in pursuit of their unholy agenda, which he stated is being tainted with selfishness and desperation.
He maintained that Samuel Anyanwu’s position as the National Secretary of the party is still intact until the Apex Court gives its verdict.
“Contrary to Ologunagba’s claims, the NWC neither convened nor resolved to affirm Ude Okoye as National Secretary or remove Senator Anyanwu. The official position of the NWC remains that the status quo is maintained, meaning Senator Anyanwu continues in his position unless the Supreme Court rules otherwise, as the matter is already before the apex court. Any action to the contrary would be sub judice.” the release hinted.
Obiaku further narrated that the Acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagun, has dissociated himself and the NWC from the National Publicity Secretary’s position , clarifying that Ologunagba allegedly expressed his personal opinion, which does not represent the position of the NWC.
Imo PDP, through the press statement, urged its leaders, stakeholders, members, and the general public to disregard any report suggesting otherwise.
“The fake news and impersonation are merely part of the ploy by those whose interest lies in sowing confusion and chaos within the party. No one should fall for it.
” As a matter of fact, Senator Anyanwu was in office today, Thursday, February 13, 2025, carrying out his duties as the bona fide National Secretary of the party.
”We will continue to stand firmly behind Senator Anyanwu, our leader and illustrious Imo son, as the duly elected National Secretary, especially as both the law and the party’s constitution continue to uphold his rightful and well-earned position.” the release further informed.
