Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s national publicity secretary, disclosed in a communique that the NEC had urged all party faithful to continue working together for the party’s success and benefit Nigerians.
The PDP has been enmeshed in different crises following the defeat experienced in the 2023 presidential election.
No less than 60 House of Representatives members on the platform of the PDP have called for the immediate resignation of the acting national chairman over alleged anti-party activities.
The lawmakers alleged that the acting national chairman had handed over the party’s structure to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to journalists, Ugochinyere Ikenga, alongside four other reps members at the national assembly, disclosed the stands of the 60 PDP lawmakers on Monday, April 8.
He alleged that Damagum has been engaging in anti-party activities and that he has sold the opposition party “for a plate of porridge.”
According to Ikengam, President Bola Tinubu consistently played the opposition role during his time, making it possible for him to succeed as the president today.
They maintained that the acting national chairman should leave the party before he destroy it completely.
They then threatened to leave the party if their demands were unmet, and they planned to join other political parties.
