DISCLAIMER ! Re- PDP NWC Thanks Supreme Court for Affirming Udeh Okoye as Nat’l Secretary
Members of the public, especially the PDP family, are hereby enjoined to DISREGARD and DISCARD the publication, which is merely the figment of the NPS’s imagination.
Ibrahim Abdullahi Deputy National Publicity Secretary, PDP, writes:” I am directed by the Acting National Chairman of the PDP, HE Amb Umar Iliya Damagun, to REFUTE a misleading statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba shortly after Supreme Court delivered judgement in the case of Samuel Anyanwu Vs. Emmanuel Aniagu on Friday, March 21, 2025.
For the avoidance of doubt, the statement of Debo Olagunagba does not reflect the position of the PDP and the NWC respectively.
The public should please disregard the falsehood. It is pertinent to inform the public that at no time did the Supreme Court recognize Hon Udeh Okoye as National Secretary, but only described him as an “impostor” while the appellant, Emmanuel Aniagu as a “meddlesome Interloper” respectively.
The NWC hereby distances itself from the CALCULATED FALSEHOOD aimed at achieving a predetermined objective, and to however, deceitfully mislead the public and PDP members .
It is worrisome that the National Publicity Secretary has, of late embarked on a frolic of his own by taking EXTREME and CONTRADICTORY opinions against the collective resolve of the NWC to undermine its authority.
The public should please disregard the falsehood. It is pertinent to inform the public that at no time did the Supreme Court recognize Hon Udeh Okoye as National Secretary, but only described him as an “impostor”
Members of the public, especially the PDP family, are hereby enjoined to DISREGARD and DISCARD the publication, which is merely the figment of the NPS’s imagination.
So far, the National Working Committee of our party cannot disregard or make the gist of the judgment of the highest court in the land, as it will continue to uphold the decision of the court.”

Trump calls Musk’s new political party ‘ridiculous’
“It’s always been a two-party system and I think starting a third party just adds to the confusion.
US President Donald Trump has hit out at former close ally Elon Musk over the multi-billionaire’s plan to launch a new political party.
“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” said Trump.
“It’s always been a two-party system and I think starting a third party just adds to the confusion.
“After teasing the idea for weeks, Musk posted on X over the weekend that he had set up the America Party to challenge the Republican and Democratic “Uniparty”.
Trump and Musk were formerly close allies, with the Tesla boss leading the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which is tasked with helping to cut federal spending.

Obi Ends Speculation, Rumour of becoming VP in 2027
“I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it,” Obi said
Peter Obi, who ran as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023, has confirmed he will contest for president again in 2027, firmly dismissing suggestions he might serve as someone else’s running mate.
The former Anambra State Governor announced this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, which aired on Sunday.
“I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it,” Obi said.
His declaration ends speculation that he might team up with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party as a running mate.
When asked about these rumours, Obi was clear in his response: “This is not in play; nobody has ever discussed that. People assume so many things.
Nobody has ever discussed with me whether I will be A or B or C.” Obi reaffirmed his commitment to the Labour Party, describing himself as a “vibrant member” of the party that gave him his political platform in 2023.

API Survey: Trust in Tinubu’s govt low
“Overall, the Nigeria Social Cohesion Index (NSCI) was computed at 46.8 percent, falling below the 50 percent average benchmark for a socially cohesive nation, signaling a weak state of unity, trust, and shared identity among citizens.”
A new survey by the Africa Polling Institute (API) has revealed a sharp decline in public trust and confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, the National Assembly, and the judiciary, raising fresh concerns about Nigeria’s social cohesion.
In the 2025 Nigeria Social Cohesion Survey released at national dialogue in Abuja at the weekend, a staggering 83 percent of Nigerians expressed little to no trust in the Tinubu-led federal government, while 82 percent said the same about the National Assembly under Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House Speaker Abbas Tajudeen.
The judiciary, currently led by Chief Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, also fared poorly, with 79 percent of respondents saying they do not trust the institution to act independently or fairly.
