We have no faction. We have just one PDP in Nigeria under the leadership of my chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s very clear Nigerians are aware, we had issues, hardcore issues but last week, matter of fact, the Federal High Court in Ibadan made it very clear that the problem of PDP is over because the so called convention of November 15-16, 2025, is a nullity, and that no other person should parade himself or herself as PDP chairman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo other person has that full powers to speak for the party, to work, administer for the party accept the National Working Committee led by Abdulrahman Mohammed,\u201d Anyanwu said.<\/p>\n<p>On why his faction has not taken over the party\u2019s national Secretariat, he added, \u201cYou know the police sealed the place, and then the other group went to court to ask police to open and the matter was dismissed because they have no locus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo by Monday, we\u2019re taking over the office. The party members are already happy because those who were afraid they won\u2019t be able to context the next election now have nothing to worry about.
