PDP Board Of Trustees Verdict Over Anyawu’s Allegation Of Forgery, Signature Cloning
The Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dismissed allegations of forgery and signature cloning made by the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, as false and baseless.
This is contained in a statement issued by the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, in Abuja on Thursday.
Anyanwu had alleged that his signature was forged on the correspondence transmitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, regarding the party’s forthcoming elective convention.
Wabara said that the BoT would have preferred to refrain from engaging in matters of internal administrative procedure in the public domain.
He, however, said that the gravity of the allegation and its capacity to mislead party members and the general public necessitated a clear and factual clarification.
“It is on record that the said INEC notification letter was jointly signed by the National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and Anyanwu on August 25, during the 102nd meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the PDP.
“The signing took place in the presence of critical organs and stakeholders of the party, including members of the PDP Governors’ Forum, the BoT, and other NEC members who witnessed the process,” Wabara said.
He said that subsequent to that, Anyanwu was formally inaugurated as the Secretary of the Contact and Mobilization Sub-Committee for the 2025 National Convention.
Wabara added that in that capacity, Anyanwu co-signed official communications of the sub-committee, including letters of appointment issued to its members, alongside the Sub-Committee Chairman, Sen. Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State.
Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has playfully called out Senate President Godswill Akpabio for breaching truce over ‘massaging women’s legs’ comment.
At plenary on Thursday, Oshiomhole said he signed a truce of no more hostilities, stating that Akpabio breached the agreement by reverting to previous matters.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio had mocked Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet.
The Senate President stated that the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.
Joking over it at the plenary, Oshiomhole said, “I want to report to this house that the senate president and I we signed a truce of no more hostilities and senate president breach the truce by reverting to previous matter, the truce stands, you should not violate, I will not violate.”
Responding, Akpabio said, “Let me first of all apologize to Oshiomhole if whatever I said could in any way injure him or feel offended.”
