PDP national secretary emerges vice chairman Democrat Union of Africa
The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Democrat Union of Africa.
The announcement was made in a statement by the Imo State PDP Publicity Secretary, Lancelot Obiaku, on Thursday, describing the development as a significant achievement for democracy and leadership.
“His emergence as Vice Chairman (West Africa) and board member of the Democrat Union of Africa (DUA) is great news for the state and everyone who believes in true democracy and people-centred leadership,” the statement read.
The Democrat Union of Africa is an alliance of centre-right political parties in Africa. Founded in Dakar, Senegal, in 1997, it is affiliated with the global International Democratic Union. The DUA firmly believes that Africa can only achieve its full potential by embracing the ideals of democracy.
“As a party, we are proud of Anyanwu’s accomplishment. He has indeed brought honour to Imo State by securing this enviable position in a keenly contested election,” the statement continued.
The appointment, Obiaku noted, is a confirmation of Anyanwu’s leadership ability and political pedigree.
He added that the PDP national secretary has proven to be a true democrat and a seasoned political leader whose approach contrasts with the old order.
“We are confident that the former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions will continue to distinguish himself and use his new position to foster the growth of future leaders and deepen democracy in Imo State, Nigeria, West Africa, and Africa at large,” the statement stated.
