PDP's New Acting National Secretary: Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo Takes the Reins
Governor-appointed leader takes over PDP: Koshoedo named as acting national secretary
In a recent shakeup, Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo has been named as the acting national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As reported by our trusted sources, this appointment came hot off the heels of a meeting convened by the PDP Governors Forum in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The meeting, in response to the Supreme Court ruling regarding a contentious case between Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoyo, directed that Koshoedo take up the role temporarily, with the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting set to deliver the final verdict.
The communique issued post-meeting shed some light on the matter, stating, "In light of the Supreme Court judgment, the Forum resolved to recommend that the Deputy National Secretary acts as National Secretary, pending the nomination and ratification of a substantive secretary from the South East Zone and NEC respectively at its next meeting."
An internal memo, referenced as PDP/NS/EST/146 and dated April 23, 2025, further solidified Koshoedo's status. Signed by Alhaji Gurama Bawa, Head of Department, Administration, all PDP staff were instructed to direct all correspondences to Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo, with whom they must ensure the necessary support and cooperation.
Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo, previously serving as the Deputy National Secretary, will now oversee party operations and communications during his tenure as the Acting National Secretary. The appointment indicates an internal reorganization within the PDP hierarchy rather than a direct correlation with the Supreme Court ruling on the case involving Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoyo.
As the PDP continues to navigate internal turmoil, keep an eye on developments surrounding Hon. (Arch) Setonji Koshoedo's acting tenure and the eventual decision made by the NEC.
