PDP Board of Trustees Declares Ude Okoye as Authentic National Secretary Amid Party Crisis


PDP Leadership Crisis Takes a New Turn as BoT Affirms Ude Okoye's Position


In a bold and decisive move amid ongoing internal strife, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) has officially declared Sunday Ude Okoye as the authentic National Secretary. This declaration follows a contentious leadership dispute that has deeply divided the party's ranks.



The BoT's decision was reached during an emergency meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, where the board meticulously reviewed documents from both factions involved in the dispute. Senator Adolphus Wabara, the BoT Chairman, emphasized that the board's resolution was aligned with the Court of Appeal's judgment, which affirmed Ude Okoye's position as National Secretary.


The leadership tussle commenced when Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Ude Okoye both laid claim to the position of National Secretary. Senator Anyanwu, who had previously occupied the role, challenged the decision, citing ongoing legal battles and the expiration of several BoT members' tenures. Despite these challenges, the BoT remained steadfast in its decision, urging the National Working Committee (NWC) to immediately swear in Ude Okoye as the substantive National Secretary.



The BoT's resolution has elicited mixed reactions within the party. While some members have expressed their support for Ude Okoye, others continue to rally behind Anyanwu. The PDP Governors' Forum has also endorsed the BoT's decision, further consolidating Ude Okoye's legitimacy as National Secretary.


This development is regarded as a pivotal step towards resolving the party's internal conflicts and restoring unity within the PDP. The BoT's decision underscores the necessity of adhering to legal judgments and maintaining the highest ethical standards within the party.


As the PDP navigates this transitional period, the focus remains on fostering a cohesive and stable leadership structure. The BoT's resolution is expected to pave the way for a more united and effective party, capable of addressing the myriad challenges facing Nigeria and its citizens.

  The Runway King: How KWAM 1’s Airport Meltdown Exposed Nigeria’s Toxic Big Man Culture On August 5, 2025, at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, a small moment became a big reckoning. King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal — KWAM 1, the legendary Fuji musician — breached aviation safety rules during boarding. It wasn’t just a celebrity tantrum. It was a perfect, high-definition snapshot of Nigeria’s most corrosive cultural disease: the “Big Man syndrome” — the belief that wealth, age, and status entitle one to suspend rules, humiliate others, and escape consequence. A Colonial Legacy Turned Cultural Code Big Man syndrome isn’t new. Its DNA comes from Nigeria’s colonial past, where British rule deliberately elevated certain traditional rulers and wealthy collaborators above the law to cheaply manage the colony. The result: a baked-in hierarchy where some people existed outside the reach of accountability. Independence didn’t kill it — it expanded it. Oil wealth, military cou...
