- Says NWC did not at any time relieve or contemplate to relieve the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu of his position
The National Working Committee, (NWC), of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has dismissed speculations by a faceless group which claimed that the NWC has sacked the party’s Imo State Governorship candidate, Samuel Anyanwu, from his position as National Secretary.
According to the NWC , it’s attention was drawn to a statement by a group mischievously purporting that the NWC has relieved the party’s Candidate in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State, of his elected position as the National Secretary of our great Party.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja, on Friday, the party said, “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.
“The NWC charges the PDP in Imo State to remain united, focused, at alert and continue to resist the antics of suprressive forces which are bent at distracting our Party in the march to victory on November 11, 2023.”
