Moments ago, the Supreme Court declared Senator Samuel Anyanwu, also known as ‘Sam Daddy’, as the legitimate National Secretary of the PDP.
In a unanimous judgment, the five-member panel of the Apex Court said matters bordering on the leadership or membership of a political party is its internal affair and should not be the business of a Court.
ENigeria News reports that the decision sets aside the earlier decision of the Appeal Court, Enugu Division which affirmed the removal of Anyanwu by a Federal High Court in Enugu. The Apex Court says the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to have heard the matter instituted by Aniagwu Emmanuel.
Anyanwu who is a known ally of Nyesome Wike is a Nigerian business executive and politician, who served as the national secretary of the People’s Democratic Party from November 2021, until his removal from Office by the Court of Appeal Nigeria on 20th December 2024.
