PDP NWC MEMBERS DIVIDED OVER ANYANWU'S REINSTATEMENT, CANCELLATION OF NEC MEETING.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been divided into factions over the decision to reinstate Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary and cancel the 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. 


The Acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, announced Anyanwu's reinstatement on Wednesday, citing advice from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


However, a faction of the National Working Committee (NWC) disputed Damagum's pronouncements, describing them as null and void, arguing that the NEC meeting scheduled for June 30 has not been canceled or postponed and Anyanwu's reinstatement contradicts the resolution of the 99th NEC meeting.


The factional NWC members, including 12 signatories, insisted that only NEC has the authority to make such decisions, and Damagum's actions have no foundation, stressing that the 100th NEC meeting will hold as scheduled.
