You’re Not Recognised By Law As PDP Secretary— Anyanwu Tells Udeh-Okoye 

The fight over the position of the National Secretary in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is yet to subside as the two claimants still lay claim as rightful occupant of the seat.

Both Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Rt. Hon. Sunday Udeh- Okoye have renewed their fight over the position following a notice of postponement of the party’s National Executive Congress meeting.

On Sunday, the notice of postponement the NEC meeting from March 15, to. May 15, 2025, was issued by Udeh-Okoye.

Same day, Anyanwu wrote a counter letter, saying that Udeh-Okoye was neither the party’s Secretary nor was he a member of the NWC and was in no position to sign documents on the party’s behalf.

The announcement in dispute which had the designation of PDP National Secretary under Udeh-Okoye’s name was issued to reporters through the party’s official Publicity Directorate means of communication.

In response, Anyanwu issued a memo copied to members of the PDP NEC members, members of the PDP Board of Trustees, PDP Governors and several party leaders, noting “Udeh Okoye is not the National Secretary of our dear Party and was never in any NWC meeting where he was mandated to issue such notice.

“Our party leaders, NEC members, BOT, Governors Forum and general public are hereby advised to disregard the purported letter as it emanates from a non-official and authoritative source. The said Udeh Okoye is not the National Secretary of our dear party and was never in any NWC meeting where he was mandated to issue such notice.

“Udeh Okoye should be aware that he is under a restraining order of the court of competent jurisdiction to stop parading himself as the National Secretary of POP pending the determination of the appeal lying before the apex court of the nation, the issuance of an official letter of the PDP in the title of the National Secretary amounts to total disobedience to the rule of law and an act contemptuous of the order of the judiciary

“It is obvious from the conduct of Udeh-Okoye that he is an agent set to destroy the party. He is, therefore, warned to refrain from further act that tend to undermine the peace and stability of the party and again impugn the integrity of the judiciary.

“Nothing coming from the said Udeh-Okoye is recognised by law. He is only putting the party to public ridicule.”
