Anyanwu reassured party members that he remains fully committed to the PDP and will not quit under any circumstances, even if others choose to leave.

He made the declaration while addressing party faithful during a New Year special stakeholders’ meeting held at the PDP secretariat in Owerri, Imo State.

The former federal lawmaker urged members not to be swayed by rumours, stressing his continued allegiance to the party and its principles.

“Do not allow yourselves to be deceived, confused, or misled by anyone. I am still in the PDP, and I will remain in the party until its mandate is fully achieved,” he said.

Anyanwu also downplayed the growing influence of rival political parties, insisting that neither the African Democratic Congress (ADC) nor the Allied Peoples Party (APP) could challenge the PDP’s dominance in Imo State or at the national level.

Responding to claims that the PDP had lost relevance, he said such narratives were unfounded.

“Anyone spreading the falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from political schizophrenia. The PDP remains a home for mature party members. Our party is like the old NPP that valued human beings. Those in the ruling party today are struggling, but in the PDP, we continue to thrive even when out of power,” he noted.

In recognition of the loyalty and dedication of party members, Anyanwu distributed gifts to stakeholders, including ward, local government, and state executives.

He expressed satisfaction that, despite minor internal disputes that almost threatened the party’s vision a few months ago, members in Imo State remained steadfast and committed.

The PDP chieftain reiterated the importance of unity and collective effort to strengthen the party in the state and dismissed what he described as a gang-up against the PDP in Imo and across the country, insisting that such forces were incapable of defeating the party electorally.

Calling on leaders and members across the state’s 305 wards, Anyanwu urged them not to be distracted by “the political shenanigans of unstable politicians.”

The meeting was attended by all 27 local government chairmen, women and youth leaders, members of the State Working Committee, South-East leaders, former local government chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, and other party faithful.
