CYRIL MBAH, Abuja
Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Umar Damagun, has reminded members and the nation that the party remains the only hope for Nigerians and Nigeria in the quest to provide better living conditions for the people.
Speaking at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP, which was held in Abuja after several postponements, Ambassador Damagun stated that the PDP was formed primarily to fight injustice and provide quality leadership across especially when the country was battling to return to democratic rule in 1998.
Ambassador Damagun stated that the PDP brand and focus remained valid and he called on party members to close ranks and remain resilient despite the exit of some high-ranking leaders of the party.
The 101st NEC Meeting, which was still ongoing as at the time of filing this report, will focus on arrangements and make critical decisions on how to improve the lot of the party as the nation inches slowly to the 2027 general elections.
Before the 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, the PDP convened a critical late-night National Caucus meeting at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
The closed-door meeting, which commenced at 9:00 p.m. was presided over by the Acting National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum. In attendance were key figures in the party including Governors Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), and Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau). Also present are notable party elders such as former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, and former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Chief Bode George, alongside members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and Board of Trustees (BoT).
