‘By Monday, We Are Taking Over The PDP National Secretariat’ – Anyanwu Speaks After INEC Meeting

Factional National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has declared that there is no more division in the party.

According to him, the recent judgment by the Federal High Court sitting Ibadan, Oyo State, has settled the leadership issues affecting the party.

Speaking on Thursday after a meeting of the leaders of political parties with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Anyanwu declared that his faction would take over the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja on Monday.

He insisted that the previous court order, which led to the sealing of the secretariat by security operatives, had been overridden by the Oyo Court order.

According to him, a recent judgment by the Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, has set the pace for fast recovery for the opposition party.

He declared that the authentic PDP leadership is headed by Abdulrahman Mohammed as the party’s National Chairman.

Anyanwu added that the PDP would now be able to field candidates for the 2027 elections as the court judgment has allayed any fears about the eligibility of candidates.

“It’s a matter of fact, because with our party, we have no problem. We have no faction. We have just one PDP in Nigeria under the leadership of my chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed

“First of all, it’s very clear Nigerians are aware, we had issues, hardcore issues but last week, matter of fact, the Federal High Court in Ibadan made it very clear that the problem of PDP is over because the so called convention of November 15-16, 2025, is a nullity, and that no other person should parade himself or herself as PDP chairman.

“No other person has that full powers to speak for the party, to work, administer for the party accept the National Working Committee led by Abdulrahman Mohammed.

“You know the police sealed the place, and then the other group went to court to ask police to open and the matter was dismissed because they have no locus.

“So by Monday, we’re taking over the office. The party members are already happy because those who were afraid they won’t be able to contest the next election now have nothing to worry about. The matter is settled,” he said.
