The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended former National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu and several other party members in Imo State following a court ruling that stopped the party’s planned congress. The suspension follows rising tension within the party as leaders try to address internal struggles and power battles ahead of future elections.

According to the party, the affected members were suspended for alleged anti-party activities and actions believed to be undermining party unity. The internal crisis in the Imo chapter has dragged on for months, and PDP leaders say the suspension is necessary to maintain order and discipline. The party hinted it will not tolerate members who work against its interest, especially at a sensitive time.

The suspension came shortly after a court order halted PDP’s congress in Imo State. The court ruled that the process should not go ahead until certain legal questions are answered. This decision has deepened division among party members, as some believe the congress is necessary to rebuild the party, while others say the leadership must follow due process before elections can hold.

Political observers believe the situation shows the struggle for control in the PDP, especially after losing the 2023 governorship race in Imo State. They say the party must resolve internal disputes and build united leadership if it wants to regain strength ahead of major elections. Party supporters are calling for peace and fairness in resolving the crisis.

The PDP national leadership has urged members to stay calm and support ongoing efforts to bring stability to the party. They also emphasized that anyone found guilty during investigation will face further disciplinary actions. For now, party followers in Imo State are watching closely as the situation continues to unfold.
