National Secretary: PDP hails court ruling upholding party’s position
The Zamfara chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has commended the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, for upholding the party’s position on its national secretary.
The PDP acting chairman in Zamfara, Hassan Daudawa, spoke in an interview in Gusau on Wednesday.
Mr Daudawa said the judgment “has encouraged party followers at all levels and strengthened confidence in the PDP’s internal processes”.
The court, on Tuesday, dismissed a suit filed by Samuel Anyanwu over the PDP national secretary position.
Justice Mohammed Umar struck out the suit after Mr Anyanwu’s counsel disclosed that the plaintiff’s tenure expired in December 2025.
Those sued included the PDP, INEC, Umar Damagun, Sunday Udeh-Okoye, Ali Odela, and Setonji Koshoedo.
Mr Daudawa said, “We rejoice because this development strengthens our internal administrative mechanisms and enables the party to sponsor candidates for the 2027 elections.”
He added that all party organs, including the NWC, NEC, board of trustees, and national delegates, “remain valid and functional”.
Mr Daudawa congratulated the PDP national headquarters and reaffirmed loyalty to the leadership of Kabiru Turaki, describing it as “the authentic party leadership”.
