Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has assured Nigerians that it will correct its mistakes from the 2023 general elections and reclaim the presidency in 2027.
This promise was made by the National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu during a television interview with ace movie producer and anchor of Nigeria Right Now, Dickson Iroegbu.
He said: “We made a strategic mistake in the 2023 elections but what matters for us is to take back the presidency come 2027. And we are working towards it.
“There is no faction in the PDP led by Ambassador Umar Damagum. PDP is the only stable party in the polity. We have done our congresses in about 29 states and there are no issues except few normal minor matters which are in every party. We are on course.”
Anyanwu also highlighted his long-standing friendship with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, tracing back to their time as Council Chairmen, and urged that any grievances against Wike should be formally addressed through the PDP’s Disciplinary Committee.
“Wike and I have been friends since our days as Council chairmen, we can’t stop being friends because of partisan politics”, he stated.
Addressing his position within the party, Anyanwu clarified that despite a Court of Appeal ruling for his removal, he remains the National Secretary due to an ongoing appeal filed at the Supreme Court with a stay of execution, alongside a standing Federal High Court judgment that validates his tenure.
He affirmed that legally, he continues to hold the position until a final decision is made by the Supreme Court.
Anyanwu also critiqued the current state of the nation, attributing the stifling of opposition to the APC-led administration.
