Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appointed Arch. Setonji Koshoedo, former Deputy National Secretary (DNS) as the acting National Secretary of the party.
This development was contained in an internal memo signed by the head of administration of the party, Alh. Gurama Bawa.
Recall that the party has been having a running battle over who is the right person to occupy the position between Sen. Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Udeh-Okoye.
The battle for the position got to the Supreme Court, where the apex court ruled that the party has the final say.
Going by the decision of the Supreme Court, the PDP governors in their meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital on the 15th of April, recommended that the Deputy National Secretary acts as National Secretary, pending the nomination and ratification of a Substantive Secretary from the South East Zone and National Executive Committee (NEC) respectively at its next meeting.
The internal memo by Bawa entitled, “appointment of acting National Secretary,” reads, “I am directed by the Ag. National Chairman to inform all Staff that Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo, Deputy National Secretary (DNS) is now the Acting National Secretary of our great Party till further notice.
“In line with the above, all Party correspondences should be channel to Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo.
“You are kindly requested to accord him all the necessary support and cooperation as the Acting National Secretary of our great Party.
“This is for your information and guidance please.”
