The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Imo State chapter has backed the decision of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to sack the former National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu, and appoint Setonji Koshoedo as the national secretary.
The backing is according to the state party chairman of the PDD, Chris Odoemenam, while reacting to the resolution of the NWC that approved the nomination of Setonji Koshoedo as the new national secretary of the party.
Odoemenam, however, urged the NWC to ratify executives as nominated by the Imo PDP leaders at the upcoming NEC meetings and stated that with Samuel Anyanwu out, the internal issues in the party will be a thing of the past.
He said, “The Imo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Interim Committee led by Chris Odoemenan, alongside the 27 local government caretaker committees, today passed a vote of confidence on the PDP NWC over the unanimous appointment of Arch. Setonji Koshoedo as the substantive National Secretary of the party.
“The PDP Interim EXCO, at their emergency meeting held this evening (Tuesday) in Owerri, Imo State, pledged their support to the State Leader and only surviving PDP public elected officer, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere (Ideato Rep), for his commitment.
“We urged the NWC to ratify the State Interim Executive as nominated by Imo PDP leaders at the upcoming NEC meeting.
“With Samuel Anyanwu now placed where he belongs, it is our firm belief and resolve that internal skirmishes in our state chapter of the party are now fully settled and PDP will rebound for the electoral contests ahead in Imo,” Odoemenan stated.
