The Supreme Court on Friday, March 21, 2025, declared an ally of Nyesom Wike, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, as the authentic National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The apex court set aside the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Enugu, which had recognised Sunday Udey-Okoye as secretary of the party at the expense of Anyanwu.
In its decision, the Supreme Court agreed with Anyanwu’s argument that both the Court of Appeal and the trial court in Enugu lacked the juridictional vires to hear the case, as it involved the internal affairs of the PDP.

THE CONCLAVE recalls that Anyanwu had left the position of narional secretary, sans resignation, to contest for Imo governorship election.
He had returned to his position in the party after losing in the guber poll.
His action had since become a subject of litigation as some entrenched forces challenged him, seeking court intervention to invalidate his return to the position of national scribe.
