From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
A group of People Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders appealed to the South East chapter as well as the various organs of the party to quickly resolve the crisis over the national secretary position.
The group, on the aegies of PDP Concerned Stakeholders (PCS), by its convener, Aminu Das Sadiq, said the crisis in the South East chapter over the move to oust Senator Anyanwu, as national secretary, is impacting negatively on the opposition party.
Consequently, Sadiq appealed to the PDP Governors Forum, the National Executive Committee ( NEC) and Board of Trustees ( BoT) to intervene in the crisis, so that the Imo born former Senator can be allowed to served out his term, which is billed to elapse in December 2025.
According to him, “we find it deeply troubling that almost a year after the crisis surrounding the position of the National Secretary first erupted within our ranks, the matter has not only remained unresolved but has deteriorated alarmingly.
“What was once a resolvable internal disagreement has now snowballed into a festering wound in the heart of the PDP — a party that once symbolized unity, inclusiveness, and rule of law in Nigeria’s political landscape.
“Senator Samuel Anyanwu is not just a party loyalist with a distinguished record; he is the constitutionally and judicially affirmed National Secretary of the PDP. The Supreme Court of Nigeria on March 21 put an end to months of litigation and unequivocally validated his position.”
He added that ” the implications of this internal feud are already manifesting. The South-East Zonal Caucus is divided. The NWC is in turmoil. The NEC and BoT are no longer speaking in one voice. Even the PDP Governors Forum, once a symbol of cohesion, is being pulled in opposite directions. This is a tragedy we cannot afford, especially when unity and purpose are more critical than ever.
“Senator Samuel Anyanwu has less than six months left to serve as National Secretary. It is both politically unwise and morally indefensible to continue this witch-hunt and internal sabotage when he is already on the home stretch of his tenure.”
