Umar Damagum, acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the party’s national executive committee (NEC) has affirmed Samuel Anyanwu as the national secretary.
Damagum spoke in Abuja on Monday after the NEC meeting held
at the party ‘s headquarters. The NEC is the highest decision-making organ of
the PDP.
“We just rose from our 100th NEC meeting. It was a
one-agenda meeting to discuss the outcome of our interaction with INEC as
regards the national secretary,” Damagum said.
“We all agreed that senator Anyanwu will continue to act as
national secretary.”
Damagum said the next NEC meeting is scheduled for July 23,
where members will finalise discussions on the party’s convention.
The acting national chairman said he and Anyanwu would
jointly issue a letter informing the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) of the planned NEC meeting scheduled for next month.
Damagum said the success of Monday’s meeting disappointed
the party’s “detractors”, who, according to him, thought it would be rancorous.
“The beauty of the Peoples Democratic Party is that it is
the only party in this country that knows the mechanism to solve its own
problem, rancour-free,” he said.
“All our governors attended the meeting. All members of NWC
were on the same page. You will not be seeing all these press releases and
counter-press releases.”
