Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reversed its previous decision regarding Senator Samuel Anyanwu, suspending plans for a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for June 30.
Gatekeepers News reports that this development follows discussions with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
At a press conference at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum announced the party’s decision to reintegrate Anyanwu into the National Working Committee.
Damagum described the move as “challenging” but noted it enjoyed broad support among key stakeholders.
The press conference was attended by prominent party members, including Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and former Senate President Bukola Saraki. The PDP’s decision marks a significant shift in the party’s stance on Anyanwu’s status.
He stated, “Senator Samuel Anyanwu has been reinstated in the NWC. It was a difficult decision, and it was accepted by many members of the party, led by the organs of the party.
‘We will have an expanded Caucus. At the next Caucus, we will take a decision leading to a proper NEC.
“Anyanwu is resuming as the National Secretary, that is why I said it was a critical decision. Like INEC said, they don’t have our notice, so what we will have on June 30th is an expanded Caucus.”
