Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), recently expelled by a faction of the party, has dismissed the party’s recent national convention as an illegitimate gathering lacking due process.
Speaking during an interview, Anyanwu criticised the exercise just hours after he and several other party leaders were formally expelled.
The PDP held its national convention on Saturday, culminating in the emergence of former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki, as the new National Chairman.
Responding to the development, Anyanwu argued that the convention was fundamentally flawed, insisting that “16 states had not even done their congresses; the entire South-East has not done their congress, suggesting that all that happened on Saturday was a jamboree. Even the ones done earlier have not been communicated to INEC.”
According to a notice issued by Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the faction, the meetings will take place at the PDP national secretariat in Wadata Plaza.
The BoT is expected to meet first at 11 a.m., while the NEC session has been slated for 2 p.m. at the same venue.
The notice stressed that attendance is compulsory for all members, as “crucial matters” will be up for discussion.
Tuesday’s gathering will be the 103rd emergency NEC meeting of the party and comes just days after the PDP, at its convention in Ibadan, announced the expulsion of Wike, Anyanwu, and former Ekiti governor Ayo Fayose.
The sudden summons has added a fresh layer of intrigue to the internal power struggle rocking the party.
