The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reaffirmed Samuel Anyanwu as the party’s National Secretary.
Anyanwu, an ally of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, was reinstated by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP.
The party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, announced this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
Damagum said: “Senator Samuel Anyanwu has been reinstated in the NWC. It was a difficult decision, and it was accepted by many members of the party, led by the organs of the party.
“Anyanwu is resuming as the national secretary; that is why I said it was a critical decision. Like INEC said, they don’t have our notice.

“INEC is our regulator, and they have told us their position as it affects the issues surrounding the national secretary.
“We are all aware that the national secretary is a signatory of this party. It is a critical position that he holds.”
The PDP chairman also disclosed that the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting earlier scheduled for June 30 has been suspended.
He said the PDP would do the right thing, adding: “It is the decision of most members of this party, led by the organs of the party.
“The leaders of the organs of the party will have an expanded caucus to discuss extensively the way forward to NEC. That would be on the 30th.
“We will issue a notice; there is not going to be NEC, but an expanded caucus.”
