PDP Chairmanship: G60 lawmakers allege plan to move election to August, retain Damagun

The crisis rocking the People's Democratic Party has again taken a new turn as lawmakers elected on the platform of the party in the National Assembly, have raised the alarm over an alleged plot to shift the election of a new national chairman at Thursday's National Executive Committee meeting to August.

Ugochinyere also alleged that there are plans to use Damagun to secure victory for the APC in 2027 by, in his words, “filling up those expiring excos like the failed attempt in Rivers with APC members whose names have been supplied by a serving minister.” The G60 lawmakers frowned and condemned the idea of allowing a serving minister in an APC government, Nyesom Wike, into the highly confidential national caucus meeting of the party.

“Article 47 of PDP constitution states that once a vacancy occurs in any office of the party especially National Chairman Office, the NEC shall appoint another person from the area or zone where the officer originated to serve out the tenure of the officer.
