|POLITICS| The battle for the office of national secretary of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, heightened as the two contenders, Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye, clashed at the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT, meeting at the Wadata Plaza national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
The trouble started when Ude-Okoye entered the meeting venue before Anyanwu and Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Iliya Damagum, arrived.
However, when Anyanwu reached the venue, Ude-Okoye was forced out, leading to a heated clash.
The National Secretary position has been a source of dispute since Anyanwu vacated it to contest the Imo governorship election, which he lost.
In his absence, the PDP South East Caucus endorsed Ude-Okoye as a replacement.
However, Anyanwu sought to reclaim his seat, deepening the party’s internal crisis.
A Court of Appeal in Enugu ruled on December 20, 2024, that Ude-Okoye was the rightful National Secretary.
Despite this, Anyanwu has filed for a Stay of Execution and an appeal, with Dr. Musa, SAN, handling the legal battle.
