Embattled National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Samuel Anyanwu has taken Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to the cleaners.
Anyanwu said: “My question is, what has Governor Makinde accused me of? Have I stressed him for any reason? Have I called him funny names? What is my sin? What is my problem with him? Have I done anything against him? I consider him my friend.”
“When people have a motive, a vision whether you want to be president or governor what would my position do? My tenure ends in December. The election is in 2027. Primaries are in 2026. I will not be there. So what would my position do now?”
“His Excellency, the FCT Minister, is my friend and my boss, and I can never, under any intimidation, deny him. Nobody can make me deny my friend because after position, there’s still life.”
“This is what I tell my NWC members: We came here as a united family. It would be nice to leave as a united family so that we can still meet tomorrow and say we are brothers.”
“We serve an organization. Let nobody try to fragment the National Working Committee. We have been here for over three years. We just have four months to go. Let us finish and go in peace.”
“We have just a few months left. Why would anybody want to break his head? Some people say Senator Anyanwu is pro-Wike. What does pro-Wike mean? Everybody knows his role in this party. Everybody knows that when it mattered most, he was there for the party.”
