Achike Udenwa, a former Imo State governor on Tuesday declared that the forces behind the embattled National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Samuel Anyanwu are not bigger than the South-East Caucus of the party.
Udenwa insisted that the South-East Caucus of the PDP stands with Sunday Ude-Okoye as National Secretary, adding that Anyanwu’s tenure ended when he opted to contest for the governorship election in Imo State.
Speaking during a live appearance on TV, Udenwa faulted the decision of the committee led by Senate President, Bukola Saraki to recognize Anyanwu as National Secretary.
He said: “For some time, for over one year, we have been on this issue. The South-East zonal executive committee kept nominating Ude-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary.
“If we are to continue on that line, it’s our prerogative to continue on that line and we have been asked severally to present a candidate and we have done it.
Continuing,“This party has a constitution and a way of doing things; we can’t arrogate to one man the powers to override what a zone can do. I don’t know any man within the party with such powers.”
