All eyes will be on the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today, Wednesday, April 13, 2022 as the frontline presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, will this morning take two consequential steps in his quest to becoming the flagbearer of the main opposition political party in the 2023 presidential election.

The former President of the Senate will hand in his completed nomination and expression of interest forms at the national secretariat of the PDP at Wadata House.- 

Thereafter, he will address the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP where he will unveil his agenda.

The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), first hinted of today’s events in Bayelsa State on Monday when he informed PDP delegates that he will be addressing the NWC of the party on Wednesday where he will unveil his agenda.

“I will be addressing the NWC of our great party at the secretariat in Abuja where I will lay out my agenda. 

“I understand Nigeria, I know what the issues are and what needs to be done to salvage the situation. All these will be unambiguously articulated on Wednesday,” Anyim told his excited audience.

The PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, confirmed that Anyim will be meeting with members of the NWC at 11 am.

 –

A source close to the campaign organisation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to talk to the media, said the speech will be all encompassing.

“Nigerians will be pleased with what they will hear from Senator Anyim this morning. He has always said that he understands the challenges facing the country and he is equally clear-headed on what needs to be done to pull Nigeria back from the brink.

“So, what he will do this morning is to present an informed pathway to rebuilding and refocusing the country on the path of growth, peace and prosperity.”

The source said the agenda is not the manifesto.

“Anyim believes that it is the responsibility of the party to articulate its policies and programmes, which then becomes its manifesto. 

“So, the agenda Sen. Anyim is unveiling today is his personal pathway to giving meaning to PDP manifesto.”

Some support groups had on Thursday, March 24, bought the expression of interest and nomination forms for Anyim.

The forms were thereafter presented to him in Abuja by the representatives of the various groups.

2027: NDC fixes October 20 for Campaign Council inauguration, Presentation of Certificates of Return

By Myke Uzendu, Abuja  The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has fixed October 20, 2026, for the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates for the 2027 general elections and a strategic dinner for candidates contesting various elective positions.  The party also disclosed that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, would participate in consultations to determine key appointments in the campaign council.  National Chairman of the NDC, Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, announced this on Saturday at a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.  He said the campaign council’s organisational structure and timetable had been ready since the end of August, but its inauguration was being delayed to allow Obi and Kwankwaso to conclude consultations and recommend nominees for strategic positions.  According to him, the activities scheduled for October 20 would follow a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), where key decisions concerning preparations for the 2027 elections are expected to be considered and ratified.  Cleopas said the delay did not indicate inactivity or internal division, explaining that the party was committed to establishing a properly constituted campaign structure capable of coordinating its nationwide electoral activities.  He added that appointments would reflect national spread, competence, capacity and the ability of nominees to contribute meaningfully to the campaign.  The NDC chairman disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso were expected to recommend nominees for several strategic positions in the Presidential Campaign Council, including Director-General, Deputy Director-General, campaign spokesperson, Director of Social Media and Financial Controller.  The candidates are also expected to nominate two additional officers who, alongside the party’s National Treasurer, will oversee the campaign council’s separate and dedicated bank account.  Cleopas said the arrangement was intended to ensure that the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were actively involved in decisions affecting the organisation, financing and direction of their campaign.  He maintained that the party leadership, the candidates and the National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, were united in their preparations for the 2027 elections.  The chairman said the campaign council would be formally announced after the national leadership received the candidates’ nominations and recommendations.  He argued that constituting the council without the active participation of the presidential candidate and his running mate would be inappropriate, given their central roles in the presidential contest. Cleopas also dismissed reports suggesting that the party was divided or struggling to organise itself ahead of the 2027 elections.  He said the press conference was partly convened to address concerns raised by party members, supporters and Nigerians over the apparent delay in establishing the presidential campaign structure.  The chairman maintained that the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC, National Leader and party structures at the state, local government and ward levels remained committed to the party’s candidates.  He equally rejected suggestions that Dickson was working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the NDC presidential ticket.  Questioning the basis of the allegation, Cleopas said it would have been easier for Dickson to join the APC than to undertake the more demanding process of establishing and registering a political party if his objective had been to work for the ruling party.  He urged journalists to exercise caution in reporting political allegations and speculation, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary distrust and mislead the electorate. ...
