The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied the report that it relieved its candidate for the Imo State gubernatorial election, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, of his position as National Secretary of the party.

Reports earlier emerged that Anyanwu, popularly known as “Sam Daddy“ was removed as the party’s national secretary to enable him to focus on his governorship race.

In a statement issued on Friday night by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the party said Anyanwu’s office remains intact.

According to the statement, the NWC described the report as false, stressing that it “did not at any time relieve or contemplate to relieve Anyanwu of his position”.

The statement reads partly, “The NWC states and cautions that no matter how strongly an individual or group feels about an issue, resorting to fabrications, lies and claiming a non-existent decision by the NWC is highly condemnable.

“The PDP urges Nigerians, particularly our teeming members and supporters in Imo State, to disregard the said false claims as Senator Anyanwu remains the National Secretary and Candidate of our Party in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State.

“The NWC charges the PDP in Imo State to remain united, focused, alert, and continue to resist the antics of suppressive forces which are bent on distracting our party in the march to victory on November 11, 2023”.

Is it not against the electoral act for him to still acting as National Secretary and at the same time party flag bearer for the election?

The LP candidate has a soiled past due to his past Alliance with Hope haunting him.

Sam Daddy is not the best for the job but Imolites are voting him to make sure Hope Uzodinma and APC is sent packing.

I just hope He lives up to expectations when elected and work for the people like Oti is doing in Abia state.

Majority of the people won't vote. There will be lot of intimidating factors that will keep people in their houses
