The ongoing turmoil within the Peoples Democratic Party remains unresolved, as the integrity faction declared the appointment of Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the acting National Chairman on Friday.
In the early hours of the same day, the National Working Committee, under the leadership of acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, suspended National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade SAN and National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba due to alleged anti-party activities.
Shortly thereafter, another faction of the NWC, via a statement from Ologunagba, announced the suspension of Damagum and National Secretary Sam Anyanwu for similar allegations.
Ologunagba, representing the integrity faction, indicated that Mohammed’s appointment is effective immediately and aligns with the PDP’s amended constitution from 2017.
The statement included, “In light of the suspension of His Excellency, Ambassador Illiya Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of our esteemed Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Working Committee (NWC) has sanctioned the appointment of Alhaji Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the Acting National Chairman.
“This appointment, which is effective immediately, is in accordance with the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
“The NWC urges all organs, leaders, critical stakeholders, and members of our esteemed Party to maintain focus during this pivotal time, particularly as the NWC initiates preparations for the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday, 24th October, 2024.”
