Heavy security was deployed at the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja as former Vice Chairman for PDP North Central, Abdulrahman Mohammed, resumed his role as the party’s acting national chairman.

Earlier, Mohammed and his supporters gathered at the FCT office of the PDP, where he addressed the crowd, confirming that he would be taking over as acting national chairman.

Mohammed was declared acting national chairman by the Samuel Anyanwu-led National Working Committee (NWC) following the suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Umar Damagun, and National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.

The crisis in the opposition party escalated over the weekend as the national chairman, Umar Damagun, along with some members of the National Working Committee (NWC), announced the suspension of the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, National Organising Secretary Umar Bature, and other principal officers.

In a swift counter, Samuel Anyanwu led a separate faction of the NWC to suspend Damagun, National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, and four other principal officers of the party, deepening the ongoing leadership crisis within the PDP.

While Samuel Anyanwu-led acting national chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed resumed at the PDP national headquarters on Monday, Damagun and members of the National Working Committee loyal to him were conspicuously absent.

Abdulrahman Mohammed, the Samuel Anyanwu-led acting national chairman, addressed journalists at the PDP national headquarters.

Toluwanise247:
Wike always win his battle
He win his fight against Atiku and Atiku lost the election. He won his fight against Rives state governor Fubara and now he just win against Pdp as a party

VladimirTheGrea:
Where on earth does this happen?

The Nigerian judiciary is a joke. They've been enabling Wike to destroy democracy with his gangs. Does it mean that anti-party has another definition?

Moroccoguy:
PDP as a party is dead and nothing can be done to revive it.

ALTERNATEID:
What has the judiciary got to do with this? Is it the Judiciary that suspended the National chairman and factionalised the party?

Again, the cry by some of you against Wike is really laughable. When Wike used the Judiciary to steal APC's victory for PDP in Bayelsa, did you all complain? When Wike used the Judiciary to block APC from contesting Rivers governorship election in 2019, did you all complain? So, what's the hypocrisy all about?

AsgardKing:
So, what is the justification for politicians remaining in the PDP at this stage since their ambitions might be looking like dead in advance?

favour32:
Stop dignifying a human.
He cannot win forever.
Nobody wins time.
