Umar Damagum, acting national chair of the Peoples Democratic Party , has survived attempts to remove him from office — at least for now.
He said Damagum will continue as acting national chair of the party till the next national executive committee meeting.“The caucus did not deliberate on this matter because there are numerous complexities regarding leadership at this time,” he said when asked about the caucus decision on Damagum. “The party has recognised the importance of conducting further consultations on that matter. Our priority is maintaining party unity, as we navigate through these issues without causing division.“We are committed to following our constitution and any succession plan that aligns with our current circumstances, including ongoing court processes. Our aim is to take actions that promote unity and are by our constitution.”The NEC meeting is scheduled to hold today.
Those demanding Damagum’s resignation based their argument on the need for someone from the north-central to take over and complete Ayu’s tenure.On Tuesday, the national working committee of the PDP passed a vote of confidence in Damagum, amid calls for him to step aside.The PDP spokesperson said the caucus discussed several issues, including the unity of the party.
