Party Leaders Strongly Refute National Secretary Anyanwu’s Convention Letter Forgery Claim, Demand Immediate Probe

The internal turmoil rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has escalated following a sharp disagreement over a crucial document related to the party’s upcoming National Convention. The PDP has officially and strongly refuted a serious allegation of forgery raised by its own National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

Senator Anyanwu, whose position was recently reaffirmed by the Supreme Court after a prolonged legal battle, reportedly challenged the authenticity of the convention letter. While the specifics of his claim whether it pertains to an unauthorized signature, content alteration, or illicit issuance remain guarded, the core implication is that a key administrative document was fraudulently produced.

However, the leadership of the PDP was quick to dismiss the accusation. The party’s response was not limited to a simple denial; it immediately shifted the focus onto the accuser. The party has now demanded an official investigation or probe into the source and motive behind Senator Anyanwu’s forgery claim.

A source within the National Working Committee (NWC) indicated that the leadership is treating the allegation with the utmost seriousness due to its potential to destabilize party processes, particularly as preparations for a National Convention are underway. “We not only confirm the authenticity of the letter in question but are calling for a thorough probe to determine who is behind the dissemination of false information and why they seek to undermine the Convention process,” the source stated.

The controversy highlights the persistent deep-seated division within the PDP leadership, as a key official who has just secured his position through the apex court is now openly confronting the party’s administrative actions. The outcome of the requested probe is expected to have significant ramifications for the unity and structure of the main opposition party.
