PDP U-Turn: Wike’s Ally Anyanwu Reinstated as National Secretary

In a dramatic twist that’s sending ripples through Nigeria’s political circles, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially reinstated Senator Samuel Anyanwu—a close ally of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike—as its National Secretary.

The announcement came during a press briefing on Wednesday, led by Ambassador Iliya Damagum, the party’s Acting National Chairman, flanked by heavyweights like Governor Bala Mohammed and former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

🔄 Why It Matters

This decision follows months of internal wrangling, legal battles, and factional tension within the PDP.

  • The Supreme Court had earlier ruled in favor of Anyanwu, declaring him the legitimate National Secretary.
  • His reinstatement is seen as a major win for Wike’s camp, which has been locked in a power tussle with other PDP blocs.
  • The party also cancelled its planned NEC meeting, opting instead for an expanded caucus session on June 30 to chart the next steps.

🧠 Final Thoughts—Power, Pressure, and Party Politics

The PDP’s decision to bow to pressure and reinstate Anyanwu signals more than just a personnel change—it’s a strategic recalibration in a party still trying to find its footing ahead of 2027.

Will this move heal internal rifts—or deepen them?

💬 Is this a win for unity or a sign of deeper cracks in the PDP? Let’s talk.
