Anyanwu: Forgery claim baseless, says PDP

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the allegation of signature forgery made by the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, described the claim as false and misleading, insisting that the party operates with transparency and collective responsibility.

He spoke in reaction to Anyanwu’s claim that his signature was forged in the letters sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) informing it of the date, time, and venue for the November 15 and 16 elective convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

But Ologunagba maintained that the national secretary signed the letters.

The publicity secretary also presented communications between Anyanwu and the other members of the party’s leadership, as well as his engagement with members of the contact and mobilisation committee, where he served as the secretary.

Anyanwu had submitted a petition to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Inspector General of Police, alleging that his signature was forged.
