Akpoti-Uduaghan Calls For Calm Amid PDP Crisis


The Senator representing Kogi Central, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has called on members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to remain calm and pursue a peaceful resolution of internal disagreements following recent developments in the party.

Akpoti-Uduaghan made this remark while reacting to the controversy surrounding the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The lawmaker cautioned against the spread of misinformation, stressing that the ruling had a limited scope.

She clarified that the issue of the suspension of Samuel Anyanwu, the party’s National Secretary, was not addressed in the court’s decision.

“The Supreme Court judgment only invalidated the Ibadan Convention. Beware of propaganda.”

Speaking through her media aide, Sam Idoko, Akpoti-Uduaghan noted that Anyanwu’s suspension had already lapsed in December 2025, after which he was appointed to a caretaker committee.

She appealed to party members to set aside their differences and prioritise unity.

“I sincerely wish that all aggrieved members of our PDP family resolve matters amicably.”

Despite the ongoing tensions, the senator expressed optimism about the party’s chances in the next general elections.

“The PDP will field candidates in the 2027 general elections, and we shall definitely win a good number of seats.”

She maintained a conciliatory stance, extending goodwill across party lines while encouraging cohesion within the PDP ahead of the 2027 polls.
