The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has reaffirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the party’s National Secretary, in compliance with a recent ruling by the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division
Addressing journalists at a world press conference in Abuja on Friday, the PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, emphasised the party’s obligation to respect the court’s decision.
He assured that the party would also provide legal representation to defend its position when the motion on notice is heard on January 8 and February 5, 2025.
“In the last few days, issues surrounding the authentic National Secretary of our party have been at the forefront of discussions. On Wednesday, 15th January 2025, we were served with an order of injunction issued by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Maitama, in a suit instituted by the Imo State PDP Chairman, Hon Austine Nwachukwu,” Abdullahi stated.
He explained that the injunction, alongside a stay of execution order from the Court of Appeal (Abuja Division), restrains the PDP and its leadership from removing Anyanwu as National Secretary until the Supreme Court resolves the appeal.
“Similarly, we were yesterday served with a stay of execution by the Court of Appeal (Abuja Division) in the judgment of this Court in appeal No CA/E/24/2024, between Peoples Democratic Party & anor V. Aniagu Emmanuel & 2 Ors. delivered on the 20th day of December 2024, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal filed at the Supreme Court of Nigeria,” Abdullahi explained.
