Political Tension Rises: PDP Governors Under Fire For Ude-Okeye’s Selection

During a meeting on Friday, PDP governors officially backed Ude-Okoye, a move that has intensified internal tensions within the party, exposing deep-rooted divisions amid its fragile leadership structure.
Prominent party figures, including Deputy National Youth Leader Timothy Osadolor and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary Diran Odeyemi, have warned that the governors’ actions risk worsening the PDP’s internal crisis.
Speaking to Punch, a PDP chieftain criticized the endorsement, saying, “The crux of the crisis revolves around the National Secretary position. Unfortunately, the PDP governors are not being sincere in adopting Sunday Ude-Okoye. Anyanwu contested the Imo State governorship election while still serving as National Secretary. He didn’t resign because the party’s constitution doesn’t mandate such resignation. This is the fact they are concealing from the public.”
The source further argued, “According to the PDP constitution, a party official is not required to resign before running for public office. If Anyanwu didn’t resign, the position isn’t vacant, and you can’t fill an occupied position without due process. The proper procedure would be to lawfully remove him before considering a replacement.”
He also pointed out legal concerns surrounding the endorsement, stating, “The governors claim they are abiding by a court ruling regarding the National Secretary position. However, there’s an active stay of execution on that judgment. Legally, until the stay is resolved, the ruling cannot be enforced. Acting on it prematurely could render the process invalid if the court later rules in favor of the applicant.”
