Owerri- Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has pledged that the PDP will not die in Imo state.

While speaking to certain PDP leaders who were outraged as well as PDP Local Government Area and Ward Chairmen from the three senatorial zones of Imo North, West, and East on Monday in Owerri, he let the media know this.

The senator claimed that the purpose of the gathering was to advance the party and bring about peace, particularly for those who felt betrayed by the party during the 2023 elections for the president, the National Assembly, and the State assemblies.

Also, he begged the party's leaders to work together to wrest control of the state back from the All Progressives Congress, or APC, which is now in power.

Anyanwu said, “As the National Secretary of our great Party, I will never allow PDP to die in Imo; I will liaise with other leaders to keep our Party alive. This is a fight that all of us should battle instead of thinking of leaving the Party.

“We are all witnesses to the broad daylight political robbery against our Party at the elections and we are working seriously to reclaim our stolen mandates through the court.

“It is obvious that PDP did not lose any election, this is why I have directed our candidates to submit their petitions to selected Chambers to enable us to prosecute and revisit the issue to recover our mandates. Be that as it may, in my capacity as the National Secretary of PDP, I will assist our candidates to offset all the legal bills during the exercise.

“What we should concentrate on now is how our Party can be united to be able to confront the November 11, 2023, Governorship election. We should discourage division within the PDP; the only thing we can do is to reconcile with our brothers and sisters who are aggrieved.”

“In my resolve to sue for peace, I want to appeal to everyone here to stop insulting our Party leaders and each other. This is the time for healing, we should forget everything that happened in the past and remain focused and steadfast towards reclaiming our state from insecurity and abject poverty,” he pleaded.
