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.
