Nigeria’s Main Opposition Party Reinstates Anyanwu As National Secretary

By Barth Ikiebe

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the reinstatement of Samuel Anyanwu as its national secretary.

Umar Damagum, acting national chairman of the Party disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.

The return follows controversy over the rejection of the party’s notice for its 100th Executive Council (NEC) meeting scheduled for 30th June.

However, Damagum announced that the proposed NEC meeting of the party will no longer hold due to procedural irregularities, instead the party will hold a National Caucus meeting on June 30.
