Police officers have being spotted at the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, as both the embattled National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyawu and Ude Okoye, whom the Court of Appeal declared as the authentic National Secretary of the party is expected to resume work today.
According to Channels TV, some form of drama may occur due to the expected presence of both secretaries at the secretariat.
Both Anyawu and Okoye are laying claim to the office of the national secretary of the PDP.
Already, there is a minimal presence of police personnel at the PDP HQ, along with some supporters of both Anyawu and Okoye.
Amidst the protest, the embattled national secretary drove into the premises and went straight to his office amidst cheers from supporters.
In his office, Anyawu called for prayers, before responding to questions from newsmen.
Regarding the court judgement, Anyawu said the matter has been appealed, and is now at the Supreme Court.
Asked about his views regarding the party’s last week position, when it acknowledged Okoye as the National Secretary, he said the briefing by the national publicity secretary was his own opinion.
The ongoing rustle started after Anyawu contested for the Imo State governorship election, an exercise he lost to the incumbent.
Upon his return to the party, Mister Okoye who held sway while he was away, challenged his right to return to an office he vacated to contest for an election in his state.
