PDP Confirms Udeh Okoye as National Secretary

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially confirmed Rt. Hon. S.K.E Udeh Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the party. The decision followed a review of legal judgments from the High Court of Enugu and the Court of Appeal, Enugu Division, both affirming Udeh Okoye’s position.

The NWC also considered legal opinions from Dr. Kabiru T. Turaki SAN and the PDP’s National Legal Adviser before reaching its decision. In a statement by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, the party confirmed that it was acting in compliance with the Court of Appeal’s ruling and noted that no higher court has issued a conflicting judgment.

The NWC has begun notifying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant bodies about the confirmation of Udeh Okoye as National Secretary. The committee praised PDP members and stakeholders for their commitment to the rule of law and loyalty to the party. They also reaffirmed their dedication to upholding the party’s constitution, operational guidelines, and democratic principles.
