The National Disciplinary Committee, headed by former Minister of Foreign Affairs Tom Ikimi, has recommended the expulsion of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, from the party.
In a letter signed by Ikimi on March 10 and received by office of the PDP acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, on March 11, the NDC revealed that despite being given the opportunity, Anyanwu failed to deny or defend himself against the petition filed by the Young Generation Caucus.
The Ikimi committee stated that “Having listened to the petitioners and the evidence led, including the oral testimonies of Hon. Afolabi Adekanbi and Dr. Alex Adum, we find that the respondent, Senator Samuel Anyawu, was engaged in anti-party activities contrary to the provisions of Article 58 (1)(f) of the PDP Constitution 2017 and conduct likely to disrupt the peaceful, lawful and efficient conduct of the business of the party contrary to provisions of Article 58(1)(h) of the PDP Constitution 2017, by inviting security agents and other persons and thugs to interfere in the ordinary business of the party at the Headquarters of the party, at Wadata
Plaza, Plot 1970, Michael Opara Street, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja., particularly 29th January and 1st
February 2025.
“The NDC recommends to the National Executive Committee of the PDP as follows: Expulsion of the Respondent i.e. Senator Samuel Anyawu, as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Recall that on February 6, the NDC, led by Ikimi, released a statement calling on former Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom, Anyanwu, and 10 other individuals to appear before the committee on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at the Legacy House in Maitama, Abuja.
The NDC’s proceedings have remained private, and the names of the other 10 invitees have not
been disclosed.
