The Peoples Democratic Party has reversed its earlier stance on Senator Samuel Anyanwu and suspended its planned National Executive Committee meeting scheduled for June 30, following a meeting with the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Speaking at a press conference at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, described the decision as difficult but widely accepted among key stakeholders.

Flanked by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and other party stakeholders, Damagum announced that the party has resolved to reintegrate Anyanwu into the National Working Committee.

He stated, “Senator Samuel Anyanwu has been reinstated in the NWC. It was a difficult decision, and it was accepted by many members of the party led by the organs of the party.

‘We will have an expanded Caucus. At the next Caucus, we will take a decision leading to a proper NEC.

“Anyanwu is resuming as the National Secretary, that is why I said it was a critical decision. Like INEC said, they don’t have our notice, so what we will have on June 30th is an expanded Caucus.” (PUNCH)
