The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed allegations by its National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who claimed that his signature was forged in official correspondence sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Addressing reporters in Abuja on Monday, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, firmly denied the forgery claim.
He clarified that Anyanwu did, in fact, sign the letters notifying INEC of the party’s upcoming elective convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Ologunagba, documented communication between Anyanwu and other top officials of the party clearly shows his involvement and consent.
He also highlighted Anyanwu’s active role in the convention planning process, specifically as the secretary of the contact and mobilisation committee.
“The facts speak for themselves, Senator Anyanwu not only signed the documents in question, but also participated in relevant meetings and engagements,” Ologunagba said.
Despite this, Anyanwu had petitioned both the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Inspector General of Police, claiming his signature was forged.
The development comes amid internal tensions within the party as it prepares for the convention.
