Nonsense warning letters conjured to try to justify nonsense – Anyanwu
A fresh dimension has been added to the power intrigues within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as new ‘warning letters’ surfaced on Sunday to justify the purported ‘suspension’ of some of members of its National Working Council (NWC).
The letters unveiled by pro-Damagum members of the party in Abuja on Sunday purportedly indicated that a warning letter was sent to the party’s National Secretary on September 30, 2025 while another one with same date was sent to the National Organising Secretary, Capt Umar Bature (rtd).
However, the two officials told The Nation that the letters were an afterthought merely conjured to paint a false picture and try to justify the illogical and unworkable suspension said to have been served on them.

“It is nonsense! Can anyone there dare give me a warning letter? Senator Anyanwu told The Nation.
Drawing attention to the party’s constitution, the PDP National Organizing Secretary, Umar Bature also told The Nation none of the purported signatories to the letter has any authority to write warning letters or suspend any member of the PDP National Working Committee.
“Not at all. They just want to try justify the nonsense they did.
“They don’t have any power to write such or to suspend anybody,” he stated.
Another curious angle to the letters is the name of Abdulrahman Mohammed whom the Wike/Anyanwu bloc announced as replacement for the National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, appears as one of the signatories to the September 30, 2025 ‘warning letters’.
Other signatories include Chief Ali Odefa whose claim to the position of National Vice Chairman (South East) was invalidated by the Federal High Court in Abuja last Friday as well as Chief Emmanuel Ogidi, Zonal Caretaker Chairman (South-South) whose caretaker committee was also dismissed by the same court which upheld the zonal congress that elected Wike loyalist, Chief Dan Orbih as Chairman of the PDP South-South zone.
Following the example of former Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose, other party stakeholders loyal to Wike/Anyanwu have continued to congratulate the new leadership put in place to replace ‘suspended’ Ambassador Damagum and others.
Thrice-elected FCT Senator, Philip Aduda and former Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom were among those who congratulated the new party leadership and demanded better performance than what obtained under Damagum’s leadership.
