Fresh Crisis Rocks PDP As 60 House Of Reps Members Demand Damagum’s Resignation

Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the House of Representatives have demanded the immediate resignation of the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Ililya Damagum.

The party members threatened to dump the PDP for another party if Damagum does not resign immediately, as they accused him of anti-party activities.

Among other demands, they also demanded his replacement with another person fro the North Central in line with the constitution of the party.

The demand of the aggrieved members, who number at least 60, was convened by Hon Ugochinyere Ikenga, who led five other lawmakers to address reporters at the National Assembly on Monday.

He said the PDP Acting National Chairman has been allegedly engaging in anti-party activities, and sold the party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) “for a plate of porridge.”

The rep member added that if President Bola Tinubu had been inconsistent like Damgum, he won’t be where he is today.

They, therefore, said Damagun should go before completely destroying the party.

“PDP can’t be handed over to the APC. APC officers can’t emerge from our party officials in Rivers or any of the 10 states with alleged imposition of APC interest. Let the world know that why they are hell-bent on imposing APC officials as our party caretaker members is to fulfil a planned bigger plot,” Ugochinyere said.
