In a dramatic twist signaling deepening realignments within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Samuel Anyanwu has been officially reinstated as the party’s National Secretary. The announcement was made today during a press conference held at Wadata Plaza, the party’s National Secretariat, by Ambassador Umar Damagum, the Acting National Chairman of the PDP.
The press conference was notably attended by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, indicating the significance of the decision within the PDP’s top hierarchy.
This development is being widely interpreted as a political victory for FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who is believed to be a key backer of Anyanwu. His reinstatement is expected to shift internal party dynamics ahead of crucial elections and strategic repositioning.
Adding to the intrigue, Damagum also announced the cancellation of the party’s planned 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, citing unresolved constitutional concerns. In its place, the PDP will hold a National Caucus meeting on June 30th to deliberate on pressing issues.
Observers say the cancellation of the NEC meeting and the sudden reinstatement of Anyanwu reflect intense internal power struggles as party leaders jockey for influence ahead of 2027.
