Anyanwu’s Return Will Wreck PDP Unity – NADG Blows Hot
The National Alliance for Democratic Governance (NADG) has declared that Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s reinstatement as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dealt a devastating blow to the party’s stability and cohesion.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The National Alliance for Democratic Governance (NADG) has dismissed the widely held belief that Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s return as National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting would restore stability or revive the embattled opposition party.
In a strongly worded statement, the group argued that entrusting the PDP’s internal structures to “known anti-party agents collaborating with external forces to dismantle the party” amounts to delivering the party into the hands of those determined to bury it.
Comrade James Ezema, President and National Coordinator of NADG, said the PDP’s consistent marginalisation of the South East had finally brought the party to political ruin.
“We must reflect on the deeper implications of the charade that unfolded at the PDP’s 100th NEC meeting,” Ezema said. “What has essentially happened is that the party has surrendered its soul to individuals who openly boasted about sabotaging the PDP in the 2023 presidential race—and who now plan to do so again in 2027, this time with even greater access and influence.”
He warned that these individuals would be tasked with setting up the committees and conventions that would shape the party’s leadership and primary process—ultimately producing, in his words, “a feeble presidential candidate who poses no real challenge to the APC, if the PDP even makes it to 2027.”
According to NADG, the PDP is now on the verge of collapse:
“This NEC decision has set the stage for the PDP’s funeral. A party that dishonours a loyal partner just to placate disloyal allies deserves what it gets,” the statement read.
The group insisted the party had already lost its ideological compass long ago.
“Seasoned observers knew the PDP had lost its soul. But that the party would voluntarily place its head on the chopping block and hand the blade to its executioners only confirms its terminal decline.”
Ezema recalled that the party’s decline accelerated when prominent South East leaders—such as Peter Obi and Dave Umahi—defected ahead of the 2023 polls, after the PDP failed to zone its presidential ticket to the region.
“By refusing to correct the injustice done in 2023 and ignoring the South East’s position on the National Secretary role as a means of restoring balance, the PDP has now triggered its full-scale implosion.”
He concluded by saying that history would remember Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun, as the man who oversaw the final collapse of the PDP.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has revealed that the governing body is exploring the possibility of expanding the 2030 World Cup to include 64 teams. This potential shift follows the recent expansion from 32 to 48 teams for the 2026 tournament, which increased the match count to 104. Infantino advocates for this change to provide smaller footballing nations with greater opportunities to qualify, arguing that increased representation motivates countries to invest in their local leagues, academies, and national programs. While the proposal remains subject to approval by FIFA’s decision-making bodies, it aims to narrow the competitive gap between traditional powerhouses and emerging teams. The 2030 event, which commemorates the tournament’s centenary, is already unique for being hosted by six countries across three continents: Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
FIFA is considering a massive shake-up for the 2030 World Cup, with President Gianni Infantino hinting at a potential expansion to 64 teams. Building on the success of the 48-team format introduced for 2026, Infantino believes that giving more countries a seat at the table is essential for the global development of the sport. He noted that under the current expanded format, teams from all continents have proven their competitiveness, suggesting that the divide between established nations and newcomers is shrinking. If approved, this 64-team structure would be implemented for a historic tournament already set to span three continents and six host nations to celebrate the competition’s 100th anniversary. FIFA is currently evaluating the logistical and financial implications of such an expansion before making a final decision.
