A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Emmanuel Deeyah, has spoken out against the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) over the decision to reinstate Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, describing the move as belated.

Deeyah, known for his close ties to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, issued a statement on Wednesday following the NWC’s announcement of Anyanwu’s return to the position.

He questioned the timing of the decision, arguing that it should have been made much earlier—especially given the existence of court rulings on the matter and expressing concern that the party waited until its registration status was affected before acting.

The former House of Representatives member, who once represented the Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency, suggested that the NWC’s decision to bring back Anyanwu was driven by external pressures rather than a genuine willingness to resolve the issue.

“They are waking up late. This is their morning. They have been doing what they wanted, and we were telling them that Anyanwu is the right person; they refused. It is unfortunate that we have leaders who cannot guarantee orderliness.

“It is not enough for someone to declare himself as something. There is a procedure. The moment that procedure is not followed, anyone who goes to court will get a judgment.

“Wike is a man of due process, and he follows due process, and that is why today, those people who did not see it and attacked him have seen the truth now, and they are turning around the bench to come back to agree with him. He told them this thing a long time ago.

“There is an agreement he had formerly with them that they should withdraw all cases and recognise Sam Anyanwu. They didn’t agree. Everybody read it where he said he would no longer agree with what they agreed on.

“This is what you experience when people who don’t know their right from their left make decisions. Even with a legal adviser, they were making unconstitutional decisions.

“This decision they have taken now is just because they have hit the brick wall, that is the reason they are recognizing and reinstating him, not because it was something they wanted to do.

“There is a difference when you do something as when it is necessary and when circumstances make you do what you never wanted to do.

“What they have done now is what circumstances forced them to do and not what they wanted to do. Whereas it is a decision and action that the party would have taken since.

“There is a direction provided by law; they would have followed that direction. Should we all get to this point when we have a judgment before we do the right thing,” he asked.
