The Supreme Court of Nigeria has ruled in favor of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, officially recognizing him as the rightful National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This judgment overturns the earlier decision of the Court of Appeal in Enugu, which had ruled against Anyanwu.
In delivering its ruling, the apex court backed Anyanwu’s argument that both the Court of Appeal and the trial court in Enugu had exceeded their jurisdiction by interfering in PDP’s internal affairs. The Supreme Court emphasized that party leadership matters fall within the exclusive purview of the party’s internal mechanisms and are not legal disputes for the courts to decide upon.
This verdict solidifies Anyanwu’s position within the PDP leadership structure, potentially impacting the party’s internal power dynamics and preparations for future elections. With this legal battle resolved, PDP stakeholders may now reassess their strategies moving forward.
More updates to follow as reactions from PDP leaders and political analysts emerge.
