PDP Governors, 24 State Chairmen Want Damagum To Remain In Office Till 2027- Aggrieved Federal Lawmakers

A coalition of federal lawmakers, who are members of the leading opposition party, the PDP, have accused some governors who are members of the party, and PDP chairmen in 24 states of plotting to have Umar Damagum retained as acting National Chairman of the party until 2027.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the federal lawmakers made this claim during the press conference they held in Akokwa, Imo State, on Sunday evening while alleging that the governors in question have done this to weaken the party.

 ‘Today, our nation is facing different challenges, both economic and political. But there’s something that’s missing in all these problems and that’s a vibrant and responsive and responsible opposition.

We have the PDP that’s supposed to lead the opposition, but what we have are political charlatans hijacking the heartbeat of the opposition party and turning it into an errand platform for the ruling party.

Some of you called me yesterday after the meeting the governors held in Jos and said, ‘it’s all over for the PDP’. It’s very shameful that a party that was founded in 1998 by the great efforts of our founding fathers-the likes of Alex Ekwueme, Jerry Gana, Atiku Abubakar, Olusegun Obasanjo, and so many others, came together and ended 16 years of military rule.

That political party is what these guys are playing Akara with. Umar Damagun and Samuel Anyanwu are now messing up with and forgetting the sacred expectation of Nigerian people’ Spokesman for the group, Ikenga Ugochinyere, who represents Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency, Imo State in the House of Representatives, said.

He also alleged that plans have been perfected to prevent the National Executive Committee from choosing a substantive chairman from the North Central zone, as planned.

‘They want Umar Damagum to continue to parade himself as the National Chairman and stay in office till 2027 so they can foist on us a weakling that will be presidential candidate.

We have impostors among us who have no honour and decency. The ruling party will be laughing at them now that they want to sabotage their own party.

First, they said there was a Sallah holiday, and they shifted it. Since last year, they kept on shifting the NEC meeting. Till now, no NEC meeting. They keep on giving different excuses. The national leaders of PDP are frolicking with APC leaders, going to London having meetings with APC leadership’ Ikenga added while also accusing leaders of the party of doing the bidding of the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike-Team@orientactualmags.com   Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
