PDP NoT Part of Coalition Group, Says Anyanwu

The reinstated National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Samuel Anyanwu, has stated unequivocally that the party is not part of Coalition group trying to wrestle power from President Tinubu.

 The party script called for unity within the party, emphasising that the internal crises have been resolved and urged members to focus on strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

Speaking in an interview, Anyanwu, who is a loyalist to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, addressed the ongoing divisions within the PDP, urging those involved in coalition negotiations for the upcoming election to reconsider their actions and rejoin the party.

“The PDP is strong, and we must unite to rebuild and strengthen it,” he stated.

The recent coalition led by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections, had raised concerns within the PDP.

Anyanwu, however, distanced the party from these efforts, insisting that the PDP is not part of any coalition discussions.
