The power tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party has once again come into play as the National Secretary of the party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has overruled the National Working Committee’s (NWC) decision to dissolve the Akwa Ibom State Executive Committee of the party.
It would be recalled that the party, through its National Publicity Secretary, Honourable Debo Ologunagba, had on Tuesday announced the dissolution of the exco and named a 31-member caretaker committee to oversee the state chapter till further notice.
The caretaker committee, according to the NWC, is chaired by Igwat Umoren who was to be deputised by Harrison Ekpo, while the Secretary of the committee is Borono Bassey.

“The NWC calls on all leaders, critical stakeholders, and teeming members of our Party in Akwa Ibom State to remain united and continue to work together for the progress of the Party”, Ologunagba had stated.
However, 24 hours after, Anyanwu addressed a letter on Wednesday to the chairman of the sacked exco, Mr Aniekan Akpan, asking him to ignore the “purported” dissolution of the exco and stay put in office.
“For the purpose of clarity, that press release (by Ologunagba) should be discountenanced because there was no formal sitting of the National Working Committee (NWC) in which such decision was taken”, the National Secretary stated.
Anyanwu, who further declared the purported dissolution as “null and void and of no effect”, said Ologunagba, as the National Publicity Secretary of the party, had no powers to take any actions on behalf of the NWC, except when expressly directed to do so.
“The State Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State stands undissolved.
“Please, consider this letter as the rightful authority for you to continue in your duties as provided in the PDP Constitution, 2017 as amended”, he further directed the sacked chairman.
In Uyo, Akpan too has refused to comply with the directive of the NWC, describing it as “false”, as he remains the state chairman.
“We have it on good authority that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party that claimed to have dissolved the state executive council did not convene any formal meeting to take such a decision.
“The National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu, has issued a press release and conveyed a letter to us showing that there was no such meeting and affirming that no formal NWC meeting was held to dissolve the state executives of the party in Akwa Ibom”, he told journalists.
