Samuel Anyanwu
EKO HOT BLOG reports the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that the party’s National Secretary and Imo state governorship candidate remains Samuel Anyanwu.
The party stated that there was no truth to the claims that the National Working Committee (NWC) has relieved Anyanwu of his position as the National Secretary of the PDP.
Speaking via a statement, the PDP spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba said the propagators of the false report were trying to embarrass and cause disaffection in the party.
Olugunagba warned that such fabricated lies would not be tolerated by the party.
He subsequently urged Nigerians to disregard the report and support Anyanwu in the upcoming governorship election.
The party said: “The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a statement by a group mischievously purporting that the NWC has relieved our Candidate in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State, Senator Samuel Anyanwu of his elected position as the National Secretary of our great Party.
“The NWC states in very clear terms that the claim by the group is completely false as the NWC did not at any time relieve or contemplate to relieve the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu of his position.
“The NWC therefore strongly condemns the action of this group which is obviously the handiwork of those who intend to embarrass, cause disaffection and division in our Party in their attempt to distract the PDP, our Candidate, Senator Anyanwu, and the people of Imo State in the quest to rescue the State from the stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The NWC states and cautions that no matter how strongly an individual or group feels about an issue, resorting to fabrications, lies, and claiming of a non-existent decision by the NWC is highly condemnable.
“The PDP urges Nigerians, particularly our teeming members and supporters in Imo State to disregard the said false claims as Senator Anyanwu remains the National Secretary and Candidate of our Party in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election in Imo State.”
