They’re Plotting My Exit: Anyanwu Exposes Shocking Details Of PDP Power Struggle

In an interview with Vanguard, Anyanwu claimed he is being targeted due to his unwavering commitment to due process, adherence to the rule of law, and his close personal ties with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike.

He asserted that some party leaders from the South East see him as an obstacle to their political ambitions, particularly their efforts to seize control of the party’s structure.

“I was duly nominated and elected as National Secretary during our national convention, and the party’s constitution clearly outlines the proper procedure for replacing a National Working Committee member if necessary.

“When I took a leave of absence to run for the governorship in my state, the Deputy National Secretary stepped in as per the constitution, which allows me to delegate my duties.

“However, while I was campaigning, some individuals went so far as to forge documents, illegally modifying our party guidelines by inserting a clause that falsely claims I must resign. This matter is under police investigation, so I won’t comment further.

“Everyone is aware of my longstanding relationship with (Chief Nyesom) Wike. We were both local government chairmen and loyal PDP members; I cannot disown him.”

Anyanwu further accused some party governors of collaborating with a faction of the Board of Trustees (BoT) to pursue an agenda aimed at weakening the party for their personal benefit.

He described the BoT and governors’ recommendation to swear in Sunday Udeh-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary—following a Court of Appeal ruling—as nothing more than a “proxy war.”
