The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has not declared the office of National Secretary, currently occupied by the its Imo State Governorship candidate, Senator Samuel Anyanwu vacant, a party source has said.
The party source said, “Contrary to speculations in some quarters, the PDP NWC has not demanded for the resignation of the Head of our Secretariat. So, the issue of looking for a replacement hasn’t arisen. “Relinquishing that office however becomes mandatory when he wins the election and is sworn in as governor.”
“There is no portion in the 1999 Constitution, the Electoral Act and the current PDP Guideline that provides that an elected Party official should resign before contesting election at any level.“So, the NWC never met to ask that Senator Anyanwu should resign or be replaced as National Secretary.
