Senator Samuel Anyanwu, one of the contenders for the position of National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dismissed the directive from the Board of Trustees (BoT) for the National Working Committee (NWC) to swear in his rival, Sunday Ude-Okoye.
Anyanwu criticized the directive, citing the ongoing court case and the expiration of the tenures of about 80% of the BoT members who attended the meeting at Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
He also pointed out that he was not invited to the meeting, nor was the National Chairman, who is also a member of the BoT.

“I’m a member of the BoT, I was not invited to the meeting, and neither was the National Chairman. This shows a lot. In any case, the tenure of about 80% of those at the meeting expired in October last year.
They are also aware that this matter is in court.
Even Chairman Wabara, who was taken to court, sent a representative. Their advice is just that advice, and it cannot be taken seriously,” Anyanwu stated.
