In what appeared to be a daring move against the Court, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has insisted that Samuel Anyanwu remains its National Secretary.
This position of the PDP is against a recent judgment by the Court of Appeal which sacked Senator Anyanwu and replaced him with
A statement signed his media aide, Ikenna Onuoha described the news about the sack of Senator Anyanwu as “fake news”.
The statement reads below;
“The attention of the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has been drawn to a fake news claiming to have purportedly sacked him from office by an Appeal Court sitting in Enugu State.
This report is not only fake, misleading, and mischievous, but a designed ploy by desperate politicians to divert attention. Senator Anyanwu remains the National Secretary of PDP till December, 2025.
The truth of the matter is that no court of competent jurisdiction within Nigeria or beyond can sack Senator Anyanwu from office. This is because there is a subsisting Court judgement restraining individuals, groups, or parties from laying claim or further challenge his position as National Secretary of PDP.
These same group of desperate politicians working effortlessly to create division in PDP are known agents of APC, but we shall not allow them to succeed.
In view of this, the public is advised to ignore this falsehood being peddled, as it remains baseless, futile and of no effect”.
