The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reinstated Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the substantive National Secretary of the Party.
Speaking to journalists after the NEC meeting held in Abuja on Monday, the PDP acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, said the National Executive Committee (NEC) in session unanimously endorsed the return of Senator Anyanwu.
Damagum further revealed that the 101st NEC meeting has been scheduled for July 23 to finalise arrangements for the upcoming national convention.
He said, “I am here to brief you on the outcome of our interaction with NEC as regards the National Secretary. We have all combined in one, we were all together, and we all agree that Senator Anyanwu will continue to act as National Secretary.”
Tribune Online learnt that the NEC resolved with the condition that the reinstated secretary would not penalise the staff he perceived to have acted against his interest in this whole drama.
“And also to bring the issue of the convention up in the next NEC, which is slated for the 23rd of next month. At that time, we will be able to convene a proper NEC, which I and Senator Anyanwu will sign, which is to fulfil the regulatory requirement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in convening meetings.”
