Nigeria Strings and Stumbles: Wike Questions PDP’s Move on Anyanwu

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has criticised PDP Acting Chairman Umar Damagum for asking National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu to resume duty, arguing that such a directive is misplaced. Wike said “Strings and Stumbles” like this exposes the party’s internal confusion

• Wike declared that Damagum lacks the authority to direct Anyanwu to resume, calling the move illegal.
• He accused the PDP leadership of acting without understanding due process or constitutional roles.
• Wike also faulted PDP leaders for visiting INEC over a Supreme Court judgment, calling it a misstep.
• The remarks came during a public project commissioning in Abuja, giving the statement national attention.

Strings and Stumbles often reveal who thinks they’re pulling the strings and who’s tangled in them. Wike’s sharp rebuke was less about Anyanwu and more about the power games reshaping the PDP. When have you seen “Strings and Stumbles” cause more damage than direction?
