Anyanwu said the BoT’s decision affirming Ude-Okoye as National Secretary cannot be taken seriously.
He and Ude-Okoye have been at odds over the party’s National Secretary position despite the Court of Appeal’s judgment.
Ude-Okoye was endorsed by the PDP Southeast caucus following Anyanwu’s decision to contest the Imo State governorship election.

Upon his return, Ude-Okoye refused to relinquish the position, leading to legal battles.
During the party’s BoT meeting in Abuja, Ude-Okoye and Anyanwu’s supporters engaged in a public altercation after he was locked out of the meeting venue.
However, during an emergency BoT meeting on Wednesday, PDP trustees affirmed Ude-Okoye as the authentic National Secretary.
Reacting to the BoT’s decision, Anyanwu insisted that Ude-Okoye could never be sworn in as directed due to an ongoing court case.
While addressing journalists, he argued that the expiration of the tenures of about 80 percent of the BoT members who attended the meeting at Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja would prevent the BoT’s decision from taking effect.
Anyanwu who said he is also a member of the BoT, claimed he was not invited to the meeting, and neither was the National Chairman.
“They are also aware that this matter is in court. Even Chairman Wabara, who was taken to court, sent a representative. That is just an advice, and it cannot be taken seriously,” he said.
