The Peoples Democratic Party has plunged deeper into crisis as fresh divisions emerged within its leadership, with a faction backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, announcing the suspension of the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and five other members of the National Working Committee.

Briefing newsmen in Abuja on Saturday on behalf of the factional NWC, the PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, announced the party’s National Vice Chairman (North Central), Mohammed Abdulrahman, as the Acting National Chairman.

He stated, “Unfortunately, some people may say that the National Secretary, National Organising Secretary who has the responsibility of monitoring everything and the National Legal Adviser, who is responsible for all legal issues, were purportedly suspended.

“On this note, we decided to suspend the National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Ilya Damagum, for incompetence, financial misconduct, and disregard for court judgment. He has been suspended for one month and should face the Disciplinary Committee.

“Secondly, we also suspended the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, for issuing statements without the party’s approval, and the Deputy National Vice Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, has also been suspended.
Woyenguikoro, who has been involved in alleged financial misconduct, has also been suspended.

“The National Youth Leader, Sulaiman Kadade, and the Deputy National Secretary, Setonji Koshoedo, have also been suspended for 30 days. All of them will be sent to the Disciplinary Committee to show cause why they should not be expelled.

“Therefore, we are announcing the National Vice Chairman (North Central) to serve as the Acting National Chairman, Mohammed Abdulrahman.”

Earlier, the NWC under Damagum’s leadership announced the suspension of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), and two other members.

I can spot the handiwork of Tinubu in this. That is how he plays his game: insert an internal enemy in the camp of the opposition so that they will not get themselves. Until that mole is fished out, our great party PDP may not be fit for the 2027 elections.

NgeneUkwenu:
As I predicted on the other thread. Fergi.e001 come outside and see the party you are supporting..

fergie001:
That's the only thing they will have done as predicted also.

I don tire for that party, they will still go and meet lesson teacher for a truce.
@igirigimercenar
Allow me for now, those foolish people don draw again

fergie001:
Tinubu didn't do anything

It's self-inflicted, it's the Abuja landlord.

pdppower:
But everyone knows the said Abuja landlord is working for APC, to cause an implosion in the PDP

NgeneUkwenu:
Let me predict again. PDP won't have candidates in subsequent elections until the party is wound up.

fergie001:
Why is the PDP suspending these officers now?
They had Anyanwu where they wanted him months ago but listened to a slimy Saraki and this is where they are today.

Theynshot themselves in the foot, they will end up with only 4 Givs before 2027.

press9jatv:
now tell me remaining 4 governors. Seyi Makinde and others destroyed PDP totally. After Seyi Makinde left government in 2027, you will see his end politically.

vanitybutiwanti:
what did the so called agent provocateur do? How can you hold convention without the input of other NWC members and senior members of the party?

fergie001:
You are now in APC so you want Makinde's head.

You are calling Makinde whilst the agent provocateur is there and you are not mentioning because you want a scapegoat. Call the person by name.
