National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, said on Saturday that the campaign to remove him from his post stemmed from his friendship with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.
Anyanwu, who was restored to the position on Friday by the Supreme Court following protracted litigation, said he has all this while been a victim of some PDP members’ proxy war against Wike.
Reflecting on the battle to save his political career, the PDP scribe said he would always “feel justified that I have fought for a good cause.”
“I fought a battle for the truth, and that’s just the truth. As for those who assume or believe that I’m their enemy, I’m not anyone’s enemy,” he revealed.
He described his judicial triumph as a victory for the people, for the entire party, and for justice.
I’ve met virtually everyone in the National Working Committee, in the PDP Board of Trustees, in the National Executive Committee and I have not won or triumphed over anyone.
“I have always believed that justice must prevail. The only thing that has just been proven is that no single person totally determines anyone’s fate in life.
“As for me today, I am not celebrating but I am happy that God has vindicated me such that even tomorrow, if I decide to resign or leave, I will always feel justified that I have fought for a good cause.
As for those who assume or believe that I’m their enemy, I’m not anyone’s enemy.
“I know that many of my friends who appear to be fighting me have only been fighting a proxy war. But let me emphasise this: what is most important is the party.
Since the day that I joined the PDP, I have never left the PDP for another party or come back to rejoin; I have always remained in PDP.
