In a decisive move to reinforce unity and stability within its ranks, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as its National Secretary. The announcement was made on Monday evening by the party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, following a crucial National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the PDP headquarters in Abuja.
The NEC, recognized as the party’s highest decision-making body, reached the resolution as part of efforts to consolidate leadership and clarify Anyanwu’s standing amid recent speculation about his role. “Let it be clear that the NEC has affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of our great party,” Damagum declared, signaling the end of internal debates over the position and a renewed commitment to party cohesion.
This affirmation comes at a critical juncture for the PDP, as the party navigates a complex political landscape and prepares for upcoming electoral challenges. Party insiders suggest that the NEC’s endorsement of Anyanwu is intended not only to stabilize the party’s administrative structure but also to send a message of unity to members and supporters nationwide.
The NEC meeting, which drew senior party figures and stakeholders, focused on strategic resolutions aimed at strengthening the PDP’s organizational framework. The decision to back Anyanwu underscores the leadership’s intent to present a united front and avoid distractions that could undermine the party’s objectives.
With this affirmation, Senator Anyanwu is expected to play a pivotal role in steering the PDP’s secretariat, overseeing key administrative functions, and supporting the party’s broader strategies as it seeks to regain political momentum. Party members have expressed optimism that this move will foster greater discipline and coherence within the PDP’s ranks as it looks ahead to future contests.
