The main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reinstated Samuel Anyanwu as its National Secretary.

Ambassador Iliya Damagum, Acting National Chairman of the party, announced this at a press briefing held at the PDP headquarters in Abuja, on Wednesday.

Damagum, flanked by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and other stakeholders, said the decision to accept Anyanwu into the National Working Committee(NWC), “difficult”.

He also said the planned NEC meeting had been canceled.

He said, “We will have an expanded Caucus at the next Caucus, and we will make a decision leading to a proper NEC.

“Anyanwu is resuming as the National Secretary, that is why I said it was a critical decision. Like INEC said, they don’t have our notice, so what we will have on June 30th is an extended Caucus.”

The development comes after PDP leaders held a meeting with Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, on Tuesday.
