According to TheCable, eleven PDP national working committee members have rejected the announcement by acting chairman Umar Damagum reinstating Sam Anyanwu as national secretary. The party, already entangled in court rulings, internal resolutions, and competing claims, now faces further division ahead of its scheduled June 30 NEC meeting.
- PDP’s acting chair declared Anyanwu’s return, citing a leadership consensus - 11 NWC members dispute the claim.
- A court ruling in 2024 had favoured Udeh-Okoye as the rightful secretary, later struck down by the Supreme Court in March.
- INEC challenged the party’s NEC meeting notice, stating it lacked dual signatures as required by law.
- PDP governors had earlier recommended Koshoedo as acting secretary; South-east members insist on Udeh-Okoye or threaten exit.
“House Divided” captures the emotional fracture in a party caught between legal verdicts, regional demands, and political loyalties. At the heart of it is not just a title, but a test of unity. When did you last witness a “house divided” lose not just trust, but its direction?
