PDP BoT Denies Anyanwu’s Forgery, Signature Cloning Claim

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, describing them as false and baseless.

This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara.

Anyanwu had accused some party officials of forging his signature on a letter sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the party’s forthcoming elective convention.

Wabara said the BoT would ordinarily not comment on internal administrative matters but was compelled to respond due to the gravity of the allegation and its potential to mislead party members and the public.

“It is on record that the said INEC notification letter was jointly signed by the National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and Senator Anyanwu on August 25, during the 102nd meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the PDP,” Wabara stated.

He explained that the signing took place in the presence of key party stakeholders, including members of the PDP Governors’ Forum, the BoT, and other NEC members who witnessed the process.

The BoT chairman further noted that after the NEC meeting, Anyanwu was formally inaugurated as Secretary of the Contact and Mobilization Sub-Committee for the 2025 National Convention.
