The National Disciplinary Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has submitted its first report to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), recommending the expulsion of the ousted National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu from the party.
The committee’s report was submitted earlier on Wednesday at the Party’s headquarters in Abuja during the meeting of the party’s NWC presided over by the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
The meeting came two days after the Supreme Court dismissed a motion for a stay of execution of a High Court judgment removing Senator Samuel Anyanwu from office as National Secretary and replacing him with Sunday Udeh-Okoye.
The recommendation for the expulsion follows allegations of gross misconduct, anti-party activities and other infractions bothering on abuse of office, leveled against Senator Anyanwu, who has been fighting the Party after the Appeal Court sacked him as National Secretary of the PDP.
A party source said “the committee’s findings and recommendations are in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution, 2017 as amended.”
Senator Anyanwu, former Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, and others had turned down request extended to them to appear before it by the Chief Tom Ikimi led National Disciplinary Committee on Friday February 12, 2025.
The PDP’s National Working Committee is expected to review the recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee, and take appropriate action in line with Article 57, 58, 59 and 60 of the PDP Constitution.
