Trustees of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have rejected the postponement of its scheduled June 30 National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting as well as the restoration of pro-Nyesom Wike National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
Adolphus Wabara, PDP BoT Chairman
The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party stated its position in a statement signed by BoT Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara.
According to the party trustees, the actions of the Acting National Chairman amounted to a gross violation of the PDP Constitution that upheld NEC decisions as binding and irreversible by any single individual.
Wabara insisted that NEC, being the party’s highest decision-making body after the national convention, had already fixed the 100th NEC meeting date at its last gathering on May 27, 2025, and no one has the authority to countermand that resolution.
He also faulted the attempt to reinstate Anyanwu, noting it contravened a Supreme Court judgement and previous decisions by the party’s National Working Committee, which had directed the Deputy National Secretary to act in that role.
In a twist, a group of deputy national officers of the party issued a joint statement backing the NEC postponement and Anyanwu’s reinstatement, signaling widening cracks within the party leadership.
