JUST IN: PDP lawmakers allege plot to impose Damagum as party’s national chairman

Some People’s Democratic Party lawmakers in the National Assembly have raised the alarm over an alleged plot to impose Umar Damagum as the party’s National Chairman.

The spokesperson of the group, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, speaking to journalists early Thursday morning, noted that with the withdrawal of pending court cases by the suspended national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, all impediments to the emergence of new PDP national chairman at Thursday’s NEC meeting had been removed.

According to Ugochinyere, this means that by the time a North-Central person emerges as the new national chairman, all state congresses would have been held for fresh four-year tenure in over 19 states with APC officials planted into the heart of the party, thereby burying the party and suffocating it and killing any survival attempt.
