The Edwin Woko-led executives of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State have welcomed the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Enugu, which on Friday sacked Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of the PDP.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu upheld a High Court judgment that removed Anyanwu and affirmed Ude Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the party.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Ridwan Abdullahi stated that Anyanwu’s emergence as the PDP governorship candidate violated the party’s constitution, rendering his appeal baseless.
Reacting to the verdict, Edwin Woko, in a statement issued on Saturday, described the ruling as the end of Anyanwu’s “political gambling in the PDP.”
