National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has cautioned the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, against making comments capable of misleading the public and deepening divisions within the party.
Ologunagba had reportedly stated that the National Secretary’s role was limited to administrative functions such as overseeing day-to-day operations, handling correspondences and ensuring that party directives were carried out.
He was said to have stressed that the National Secretary could not summon meetings or issue press statements without due authorisation.
But in a swift reaction, Anyanwu, through his media aide, Ikenna Onuoha, dismissed Ologunagba’s remarks as “ridiculous and ignorant,” insisting that the position of National Secretary plays a vital role in the overall management and coordination of the party’s affairs.
“This statement, if indeed came from a supposed party spokesperson, is an indication that he lacks the requisite knowledge of the provisions of the party constitution regarding the duties, functions and programmes of the office of the National Secretary.
“Hon Debo Ologunagba, who ordinarily should be speaking for the party, failed to highlight the duties of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of PDP in section 36 (1) of the PDP Constitution 2017 as amended simply, because he was out for mischief making,” Onuoha said.
He maintained that Senator Anyanwu’s responsibilities are well-defined in the party’s constitution, urging him to focus on constructive communication that would foster unity and strengthen the PDP.
