BREAKING: PDP BoT holds emergency meeting amid Anyanwu, Ude-Okoye crisis

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, is currently holding an emergency meeting.

The meeting was called to find lasting solutions to the current leadership crisis bedeviling the party.

Those who have arrived include the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; Secretary of the BoT, Senator Ahmed Makarfi; and former Governors Achike Udenwa, Sam Egwu, Babangida Aliyu, Senator Ben Obi, and Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola, among others.

The meeting is holding amid the crisis surrounding the struggle for who occupies the position of the PDP National Secretary.

Last week, at the PDP national secretariat, a fight broke out between Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye during its BoT meeting.

The crisis between the duo started when Anyanwu left to contest for Imo State governorship election and Ude-Okoye was was selected by the Southeast arm of the party to replace him.

This led to a lawsuit, after which the Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu declared Ude-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary.

But Anyanwu said Ude-Okoye has no authority to assume the position, despite the ruling.

Anyanwu cited his appeal of the ruling at the Supreme Court as grounds for maintaining the status quo
