Police storm PDP Hq as two scribes resume duties today


The police stormed Peoples Democratic Party, PDP secretariat on Monday as two national secretaries resume duties.

The scribes Samuel Anynawu and Ude Okoye, whom the Court of Appeal declared as the authentic National Secretary of the party is expected to resume work today.

Both Anyanwu and Okoye are laying claim to the office of the national secretary of the PDP.

Already, there is a minimal presence of police personnel at the PDP HQ, along with some supporters of both Anyanwu and Okoye.

Amidst the protest, the embattled national secretary drove into the premises and went straight to his office supporters cheer him.

Right in his office, Anyanwu called for prayers, before responding to a few questions from journalists.

Regarding the court judgement, Anyawu said the matter has been appealed, and it is now at the Supreme Court.

Asked about his views regarding the party’s last week position, when it acknowledged Okoye as the National Secretary, he said the briefing by the national publicity secretary was his own opinion.

The ongoing battle started after Anyanwu contested for the Imo State governorship election, an exercise he lost to the incumbent.

Upon his return to the party, Mister Okoye who held sway while he was away, challenged his right to return to an office he vacated to contest for an election in his state.

The courts ruled in favour of Okoye and Last week, the PDP national working committee had acknowledged Okoye as the legally recognised National Secretary of the party, maintaining that the party has a high regard for the pronouncement of the Court of Appeal.
