National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Samuel Anyanwu, has described comments made by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, concerning his duties as ridiculous and ignorant.
Naijaonpoint understands that Ologunagba reportedly said that Anyanwu’s role as National Secretary is limited to administrative duties, such as managing day-to-day activities, handling correspondence, and ensuring directives are carried out.
The spokesman’s comments were in reaction to a perceived misunderstanding of roles within the party.
However, Anyanwu, in a statement by his media aide, Ikenna Onuoha, warned Ologunagba against making statements that could mislead the public and exacerbate divisions within the party.
He emphasised the National Secretary’s critical role in the party’s operations.
Onuoha said that Ologunagba’s comments indicate a lack of understanding of the party constitution regarding the duties and functions of the National Secretary.
According to him, “This statement, if indeed came from a supposed party spokesperson, is an indication that he lacks the requisite knowledge of the provisions of the party constitution regarding the duties, functions and programmes of the office of the National Secretary.
“Hon Debo Ologunagba, who ordinarily should be speaking for the party, failed to highlight the duties of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of PDP in section 36 (1) of the PDP Constitution 2017 as amended simply, because he was out for mischief making.”
Onuoha argued that Senator Anyanwu’s role is far more significant than what Ologunagba suggested adding that his actions are guided by the party’s constitution, urging Ologunagba to focus on constructive strategies to strengthen the party rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric.
