But an Abuja High Court stepped in and poured cold water on his joy on resumption.

The Court asked him to cease parading himself as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Justice M. M. Adamu who ruled on a motion brought by a member of the party, Douglas Nwachukwu, filed by his lawyer, F. S. Jimba Esq. dated October 30, stopped Anyanwu from performing the function of the office of the Secretary of the party.
