PDP Crisis Deepens As Southeast Stakeholders Back Anyanwu

The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP deepened on Thursday after stakeholders of the party from the South-East repudiated moves to remove Senator Samuel Anyanwu as national secretary.

The stakeholders in a strongly worded statement in Owerri, capital of Imo State, maintained that Anyanwu was the substantive PDP National Secretary based on the stay of execution issued by the Court of Appeal.

‘’The stay of execution has said it all. There is only one National Secretary, and it remains Senator Samuel Anyanwu,’’ the PDP stakeholders said on Thursday.

The leaders in a statement by the Chairman of South-East PDP Stakeholders Forum, Chief Maxwell Okoye, attributed the conflict and internal wrangling in the party to individuals positioning themselves for the 2027 polls.

The stakeholders praised PDP elected governors for their sterling performance.

They urged the governors and Board of Trustees (BOT) members not to play pranks with the Office of the PDP National Secretary.

‘’The battle for the control of the PDP ahead of 2027 has created confusion, uncharitable impressions and insinuations that those fighting Anyanwu are agents of the ruling party in the country’’.

The South-East leaders warned party bigwigs not to allow the crisis in the party to degenerate any further.

‘’ Senator Samuel Anyanwu has been intimidated, harassed, insulted, abused, blackmailed and even physically attacked for the soul of the party’s secretary seat by some political godfathers’’

The stakeholders in their statement emphasized the stay of execution, respect for the rule of law and objectivity in maintaining their stance that Senator Samuel Anyanwu remained national secretary of the PDP.
