Court declares Samuel Anyanwu as legitimate PDP national secretary

The Supreme Court has affirmed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the rightful National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), overturning an earlier judgment by the Court of Appeal in Enugu.

In its landmark ruling on Friday, the apex court nullified the appellate court’s decision, which had ruled against Anyanwu’s continued tenure as PDP scribe.

The Supreme Court upheld the argument presented by Anyanwu’s legal team, stating that both the Court of Appeal and the lower court in Enugu lacked jurisdiction over the matter since it pertained to the internal affairs of the PDP.

This ruling solidifies Anyanwu’s position as the legitimate National Secretary of the opposition party, bringing an end to the legal battle over his leadership role.
