The National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, Samuel Anyanwu has opened up on how Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde is fueling the crisis tearing the party apart.
Anyanwu, OYOINSIGHT can report, revealed this in a recent with The Nation newspaper. He noted that Makinde, alongside his Enugu counterpart, and the party’s former National Vice Chairman (Southeast) are responsible for the crisis over the office of the National Secretary.
“All these are happening because the then National Vice Chairman (Southeast), whose tenure was elapsing, wanted to remain a member of the National Committee. He went and conjured, manipulating the governor of Enugu State, to believe that he could become the party’s national secretary. I’m sure that the governor himself is not aware that the offices are shared according to the state.
”They jumped into it because he knows that the next National Vice Chairman of Southeast is supposed to come from Enugu State, and he knows that he will not get it back. So he wanted to return, because his tenure ended on March 3rd or so. That’s how this whole issue started.
“He now connived with his friend, who is Governor Makinde of Oyo State, to pressurise Enugu to bring Ude-Okoye in, and they went to court,” the former Senator explained.
“Each time they talk about people destroying the party. All these PDP leaders who go on national television to demarket the party. Instead of saying issues that can build the party, you are saying things that will destroy and demarket the party and accuse the Minister of FCT, because he’s my friend.
”I will not take it if anybody ridicules me. I will never tolerate it for any reason. In every position everybody is having now, in the next two years, a few of them will leave and all of us will meet at the lounge of the airport,” he added.
