The National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the party's National Secretary.
This was announced by the acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum.
Damagum said the decision was taken by NEC during its meeting in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, the affirmation of Anyanwu was one of the key resolutions reached during the meeting of the NEC, which remains the highest decision-making organ of the party.
Damagum said, Let it be clear that the NEC has affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of our great party."
As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear whether all the members of the party who attended the NEC meeting are in support of the decision.
This is especially considering the stand of the South-East PDP which has been insisting that SKE Ude-Okoye be recognised as the authentic National Secretary.
