PDP Recognizes Udeh-Okoye As Party National Secretary

…Pegs Anambra Governorship Form For ₦40m

ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has recognized Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the party.

This is even as the party pegged the expression of interest and nomination forms for Anambra state governorship election at ₦40 million.

PDP, in its time table for Anambra governorship election, fixed its expression of interest and nomination forms fees for the November 8 Anambra State election at N5 million and N35 million respectively.

PDP in a letter sent to its Chairman of Anambra State chapter, Chidi Chidebe, said sale of nomination form will commence on February 24 and end on March 5.

According to the letter, signed by the party National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature, the party primary will hold on April 5, while the appeal is April 8.

The letter reads in part: “This is to inform you that the National Working Committee of our great party, the PDP has approved the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the upcoming governorship election in your state.”

The letter was copied to the Chairman Board of Trustees (BoT), the Ag. National Chairman, Governor Peter Mba of Enugu State, Ude-Okoye as National Secretary, among other officers of the party.

Recall that the PDP governors and the BoT, had demanded that Ude-Okoye should be sworn in as National Secretary, in compliance with the Appeal Court judgement that sacked Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

Last week, the NWC unanimously approved that Ude-Okoye should be recognised as the party’s National Secretary.
