The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has recognized Sunday Ude-Okoye as the substantive national secretary of the party.
The Chairman of the BoT and former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara, stated this while reading the communiqué at the conclusion of an emergency meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.
Wabara urged the PDP to swiftly swear in Ude-Okoye in accordance with the Enugu Court of Appeal judgment, which recognizes Ude-Okoye as the substantive national secretary of the party.
Wabara said the BoT affirmed Ude-Okoye after the trustees thoroughly reviewed documents provided by both aggrieved parties.
Ude-Okoye was PDP’s former National Youth Leader before he was adopted by the party’s South-East Caucus to replace Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary.
Recall that on January 31, PDP governors, led by Bala Mohammed of Bauchi endorsed the Court of Appeal judgment which affirmed Ude-Okoye as National Secretary and urged the National Working Committee, NWC, to implement it.
The PDP Governors Forum also distanced its members from Anyanwu and confirmed Ude-Okoye as the party’s National Secretary during a meeting in Asaba, Delta State
