The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has refuted allegations by its National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, claiming that his signature was forged on a letter addressed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Monday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said Anyanwu personally signed the correspondence notifying INEC of the PDP’s forthcoming national convention, slated for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Ologunagba, the documents in question were signed in the presence of state governors, members of the NWC, and other senior party officials just hours before the 102nd meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) held on August 25.

He listed those present during the signing to include Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal, former Minister of Special Duties Tanimu Turaki, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Ologunagba added that during the NEC meeting, Governor Bala Mohammed, who also serves as the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, affirmed that all relevant letters, including the one sent to INEC, had been duly signed by the National Secretary.
The clarification comes amid mounting tension within the opposition party over preparations for the November convention, following Senator Anyanwu’s recent petitions to security agencies alleging that his signature had been forged on official documents.
