He said the purported suspension was a witch-hunt targeted against the party chairmen who demanded clarifications regarding funds released to the state working committee from the national headquarters of the party.
According to him, there was nothing wrong for members of the State Executive Committee to demand explanations on how funds accrued to the state from the National Working Committee were disbursed.
He urged the ward chairmen to remain steadfast and committed in carrying out their duties and assured that none of them will be unjustly removed under the current leadership of the National Working Committee of the party.
Also, the host, who is the ex-chairman, National Population Commission, NPC, Chief Eze Duruiheoma informed the party chieftains that Anyanwu has shown capacity in terms of bringing leaders of the party together, hence, his support for his governorship ambition.
He further charged the party officers to ensure victory for all candidates of the party in the forthcoming general election.
Highpoint of the meeting was an unanimous endorsement of the governorship aspiration of Anyanwu, which was followed by a motion moved by the chairman of all chairmen from Nkwere local government areas, and was supported via affirmation by all the ward chairmen present.
The Ward Chairmen also passed an explicit vote of confidence on the PDP national secretary in his continued quest to unite aggrieved party faithful in state.
