Umar Illiya Damagum, the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has directed security agencies to arrest the factional chairman, Ahmed Yayari Mohammed.

The order follows accusations that Mohammed and his faction have violated a subsisting court order regarding their legitimacy and actions within the party.

The internal power struggle, which has embroiled the PDP’s leadership, reached a new peak after Damagum suspended key party officers, including the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, and the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Adeyemi Ajibade, for alleged anti-party activities tied to the crisis in Rivers State.

Following these suspensions, the faction led by Ahmed Yayari Mohammed retaliated by announcing the suspension of Damagum and PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, accusing them of sabotaging the party’s interests in legal matters involving the Rivers State PDP chapter.

The tit-for-tat suspension has worsened an already volatile situation within the party.

Damagum’s camp, in a press conference, condemned the actions of Mohammed’s faction as not only unconstitutional but also a clear violation of a court ruling.

Acting National Publicity Secretary Ibrahim Abdullahi Manga, representing the Damagum-led PDP faction, stated that the party had no choice but to seek the involvement of security agencies to enforce the court’s ruling and restore order.

Manga emphasized that the assumption of roles by Damagum and his allies was done in full accordance with the decisions of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC), held on October 10, 2024.

He criticized Mohammed’s faction for disregarding party regulations and warned that their actions could have severe legal consequences.

“We urge all our party members to remain focused and continue supporting the PDP leadership under the Acting National Chairman, H.E. Amb Umar Iliya Damagum, until we achieve a lasting solution to our issues.”

“For the record, both affected NWC officers are senior lawyers who should know better how to uphold the sanctity of the organisation and have participated in the suspension of some of their NWC colleagues in the past.

“So, why jeopardise our great party due to the collective decision of your colleagues against your actions, rather than taking advantage of the Investigation Committee’s opportunity for reconciliation?

“Furthermore, we are compelled to express our utter disgust and disappointment at our colleagues’ resort to a ‘motor park’ approach to a mere suspension, which is intended to provide them with the opportunity to address specific allegations against them.

“While we are aware of the drummers, the masquerades should have been more mindful of their dance steps to avoid exposing themselves on stage,” Manga said.

This former chairman don't have sense.

Wike is about to take Makinde, Damagun and co down with him after destroying the careers of 27 speakers, 23 LGA chairmen and over 50 senior civil servants.

What a loser.

Giving orders from London or France

Is our security agency a joke to him ?

People will say is wike....but this man is fighting for himself as a Nigerian

Power!

"Orders" "Directs"

Nobody can take PDP away from Nyesom Wike's capable hands. It is just not possible.

Arrest of Pdp factional chairman will never stand . Damagum will be removed completely from Pdp

I still biliv Atiku is the main culprit in all these brouhaha, if he had allowed Presidential slot to go south, maybe PDP would have be in power today. And if not in power, they would have be a stronger opponent today. Now, because of his personal ambition, he is making Nigeria going towards one party state.

PDP is a party of criminal elements.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Exactly…

Wike want to sell PDP to a APC for change…

Bala Mohammed needs to remind him who’s in charge

A minister can’t lord over a governor.. even with all his bullion’s

The North is about to begins politics of 2027..

Wike wasted all his foolishness with out achieving nothing

2023 is over.. mistakes made.. and corrected.. no mean say one foolish drunk owns a party

Either Wike leaves PDP for APC or he humbly stay in lines

That’s the basic project



Coming months will clear all doubts..
Make he start preparing bullions to bribe judges and lawyers

PDP has been here and even in worst cases before

Non sense

Coming months will shock Wike

Power to the people

That's how you all play politics without any iota of common sense and totally devoid of logic but empty chest beating and vile ranting.....the police would arrest that impostor calling himself PDP chair because he has broken the law

I can bet you that same wike will soon start fighting damagun

There is something fundamentally wrong with PDP, why is it that every acting chairman refuses to go and now becomes a big problem for the party? The north central should take damagun to court to enforce the constitution of the party that the north central should complete its tenure and pray the courts should extend their tenure by the number of days damagun remains in acting capacity

Sorry guy,u are d one with half baked info here.Atiku said if it was zoned to south east,he wud back off.

PDP issues self-destruct order to their members.

How can you be fighting for leadership when you dont even know who your leader is?

Peter Obi and Wike who failed to support a legitimate winner of the presidential primary election in their party are the most culpable.

What a loser.

How did he destroy career of 27 lawmakers.

They are still lawmakers, they get their salaries, they live big, enjoy life and not complaining.

You are here drinking oanadol for other oeople headache.

Dud any of them contact you that their career is dead.

There is a court order and police will arrest them.

Wike remains the leader of PDP
