A fight broke out on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, where a meeting of the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT, is ongoing.
The altercation began when Sunday Ude-Okoye, a party chieftain, was ejected from the meeting.
Samuel Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye are fighting over for the position of National Secretary of the party.
Ude-Okoye had arrived the venue of the meeting before Anyanwu and acting National Chairman, Ambassador Iliya Damagum.
But, when Anyanwu arrived, Ude-Okoye was forced out of the meeting by suspected thugs, a situation that led to an altercation.

This is coming after the Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the Southeast geopolitical zone rose from a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday and condemned what they called attempts to plunge the party into a more serious crisis ahead of the 2027 general election.
They warned that if the lingering crisis over the position of the party’s national secretary is not immediately resolved, the party could suffer more serious damage in the 2027 election.
The meeting, which was presided over by PDP National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, and attended by Board of Trustees member, Chris Ubah, insisted that there was no basis for disagreement since the party is awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court on the position of the National Secretary.
He clarified that the meeting was actually called by Southeast members of the PDP NWC, not the national leadership.
