However, the Southeast caucus nominated a replacement, leading to legal battles.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker pointed out that the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the party, not the courts, has the authority to choose its officials, nullifying the processes that had produced Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Senator Anyanwu went to contest for governor, he expected to win by the constitution of the party because you cannot hold dual positions in the party and in government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he had won and become the governor and assumed office as governor, definitely automatically you would expect that he had resigned from the position of national secretary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Interior Minister stressed that the PDP, as a law-abiding organisation, must comply with the court\u2019s judgment.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that the party\u2019s National Working Committee (NWC) had accepted the Southeast\u2019s nominee, Udeh-Okoye, pending ratification, but the Supreme Court\u2019s intervention disrupted this process, adding that the party is now working to navigate the requirements of the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court came with a verdict that all those processes, especially the court processes that threw up a replacement for Anyanwu, were set aside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that it is the responsibility of the party to choose who their leaders are or who their officials are. That is the point that we are in here,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
