Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has dismissed reports claiming that he intends to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, describing the story as untrue and without basis. The PDP National Secretary stated that he remains fully committed to the party and has no plans to defect, regardless of political developments.
Anyanwu spoke while addressing party leaders and members during a New Year special stakeholders’ meeting held at the PDP secretariat in Owerri, Imo State. He urged members not to be misled by rumours or false narratives, stressing that he is still a loyal member of the party and will continue to work for its goals.
He assured party supporters that the PDP remains strong and organised, insisting that claims suggesting the party is finished are misleading. According to him, other political parties being mentioned as alternatives do not have the structure or capacity to win elections either in Imo State or across the country.
The former federal lawmaker praised PDP members for remaining committed despite internal challenges faced by the party in recent months. He expressed satisfaction that party supporters in Imo State stayed united and focused even during periods of disagreement.
In appreciation of the loyalty and hard work of party officials and stakeholders, Anyanwu presented gift items to ward, local government, and state executives. He encouraged party leaders, stakeholders, and members across the state’s 305 wards to continue working together to strengthen the PDP.
Anyanwu also warned party members against distractions from political opponents, stating that those working against the PDP lack the strength to defeat the party in any credible contest. He called for unity and dedication as the party prepares for future political engagements.
The meeting was attended by party chairmen from the 27 local government areas, women and youth leaders, members of the State Working Committee, South-East leaders, former chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, and other invited guests.
