The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has dismissed the recent communiqué issued by the PDP Governors’ Forum, insisting that the forum is merely a pressure group within the party and not an official organ.
Speaking in an interview on Friday, Anyanwu reaffirmed his position as the legitimate National Secretary, emphasising that the law remains on his side.
His words, “First and foremost, the PDP Governors’ Forum is not an organ of our party, so I’m unperturbed by the communique they issued after their meeting. One fact remains: I’m the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“Remember, the Governors Forum is one out of several pressure groups in our party. You can see even the communique is adversity. There’s a likelihood that they did what they did to satisfy Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State.

He further alleged that the forum’s actions might have been influenced by Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
Anyanwu referenced a recent Appeal Court ruling that granted a stay of execution on an earlier judgment, which he said solidifies his position.
“The Court’s current position is clearly in my favour; there is absolutely nothing to worry about,” he assured.
“The Appeal Court gave an order for a stay of execution of an earlier judgement, and the Court’s current position is clearly in my favour; there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
“I’m complying with this court order, and in case they are not aware, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will not recognise any other person besides me as PDP National Secretary.”
