Wike Is My Boss And Friend, Can’t Ever Deny Him…Gov Makinde’s Fixation On Me ‘Baffling’-Samuel Anyanwu
As the intraparty conflict in the leading opposition party, the PDP, continues, Mr Samuel Anyanwu, a former senator, has asserted that he remains the National Secretary of the party in the eyes of the law.
He also noted that the electoral umpire, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has recognized him as the authentic National Secretary of the party.
‘In the face of the law, I remain the PDP National Secretary. Supreme Court has spoken. And what did the Supreme Court say? That the person that went to court is a meddlesome interloper.
That is the judgment of the Supreme Court and that the judgment of the High Court is nullified. And all my reliefs sought are meritorious and sustained. And what are my reliefs? That I am National Secretary of PDP’ he submitted while adding that he had never at any point in time resigned from his position.
‘I never resigned. From November 23rd after my election in 2023 to January 9th, when I got a judgment at the Federal High Court, till today, this is one year plus, I have been working. I have been doing all the congresses.
If they say that I have resigned, that I am not a National Secretary, then every congress, in all the entire states, even the governorship candidates that I signed their documents will be a nullity’ Anyawun said.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Anyanwu, who said this while talking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, lamented that the intraparty conflict is hindering unity in the party.
‘Each time they talk about people destroying the party. All these PDP leaders who go on national television, they are the ones demarketing the party’ he said.
The former senator, who noted that his tenure will end in December this year, said Governor Seyi Makinde’s fixation on him is baffling.
He also declared that he can never deny Barrister Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister, who he called his friend and boss.
‘My question is, what will Governor Makinde say that I did to him? Have I stressed him for any reason? Have I called him funny names? What is my sin? What is my problem with him? Have I done anything against him? What have I done against him? I consider him as my friend.
When people have a motive, a vision, what would my vision be? Whether you want to be president, whether you want to be governor, what would my position do? My position will end by December. Election is 2027. Primaries are 2026. I will not be there. So, what would my position now do?
His Excellency, the FCT Minister, is my friend and my boss, and I can never, for any intimidation, deny him. Nobody can make me deny my friend because after position, there’s still life.
This is what I tell my NWC members. We came here as a united family. It would be nice for us to go as a united family. So that we can still meet tomorrow and say we are brothers. We served an organization. Let nobody try to fragment the National Working Committee. We have been here for three years plus. We just have four months to go. Let us do it and go in peace.
We just have a few months to go. Why would anybody want to break his head? Some people will say Senator Anyanwu, he is pro-Wike. What is pro-Wike? Everybody knows his role in this party. Everybody knows when it mattered most. He was there for the party’ he said.
Anyanwu also urged PDP leaders to handle the situation carefully in order to protect the future of the party.
‘So, I think that our party should be very careful. They should be very, very careful.
And you see, I respect our governors. I respect them because I know it’s not easy to be a governor. But that you’re a governor does not mean that you cannot come out and tell your colleagues the truth. They know the truth. Why are they shying away from it? They know the truth’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
