In its ruling, the apex court set aside the earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal in Enugu, which had affirmed Anyanwu’s removal. Justice Jamilu Tukur, delivering the lead judgment, stated that the matter pertained to the internal affairs of the PDP, and therefore, the lower courts lacked the jurisdiction to hear the case. The Supreme Court also noted that the plaintiff, Aniagu Emmanuel, who initiated the suit at the trial court, lacked the necessary legal standing, as he did not demonstrate how he was affected by the identity of the PDP’s National Secretary,
This decision reinstates Anyanwu to his position as the PDP’s National Secretary, resolving the leadership tussle within the party.
