Showunmi explained that the PDP’s internal conflict, particularly regarding the national secretary position between Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday-Ude-Okoye, seems unlikely to end, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling. Although the Supreme Court gave the party the authority to decide who holds the national secretary role, both Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye continue to stake their claim.
While Anyanwu insists on being the PDP national secretary, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), in a statement issued by spokesperson Kola Ologunagba, recognizes Ude-Okoye in the position.
Responding to an accusation on his handle on Sunday, where a user claimed he supported former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, Showunmi clarified that he supports neither Atiku nor Wike.
The user had commented, “I love your passion but I’m disappointed that you can say that, it’s high time you people tell Atiku to stop contesting and be a leader, but telling me that, Wike has the interest of PDP now I disagree with you on that.”
Showunmi replied: “Now this is the crux of the matter! No man must be bullied out of his legitimate ambition. You people are obsessed with Atiku Abubakar, just as you are obsessed with Nyesom Wike. I am a genius for I told both of them that if care is not taken, their fight will destroy the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
