When the ramifications of the Supreme Court verdict on PDP National Secretary tussle is well examined, it may well be said that the doctrine of party supremacy is finally settled, while Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s quest to retain the position appears to have met a brickwall, writes Deji Elumoye.
The Genesis
In the run up to the 11th November 2023 Imo State governorship poll, the then undisputed National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Chris Anyanwu, threw his hat in the ring in the contest for the party’s ticket, which he ultimately clinched at the 13th January 2023 PDP governorship primary held at the party’s state secretariat in Owerri. With the withdrawal of his only challenger and former governor, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, Anyanwu polled the votes of 803 out of the 915 delegates to emerge winner.
