The National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has slammed the National Secretary of the party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and dismissed the allegation of signature forgery and cloning against some national officers.
The party on Monday said Anyanwu signed the letter himself and called him a liar.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, while addressing journalists at the party headquarters disclosed that Anyanwu personally signed the letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the presence of state governors of the party, NWC members and other party chieftains.
Ologunagba, who was in company of other NWC members, said the letters were signed just before the 102nd National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting held on August 25.
According to him, even at the NEC meeting, the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, announced to NEC members that the Letters have been signed by the National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun and Anyanwu.
He added that the signing took place in the presence Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde; Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke; Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal; former Minister of Special Duties Tanimu Turaki, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, among others.
He called on the investigating agencies and Nigerians to ask those he mentioned whether the National Secretary signed the letter in their presence or not.
He also disclosed that the move by Anyanwu is part of the antecedents of those who want to stop the National convention in November in Oyo state.
