Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have overturned the suspension of acting National Chairman Iliya Damagum, National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade.
The announcement was made by Bauchi State Governor and Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, today.
The decision follows a split within the National Working Committee (NWC) that resulted in Damagum’s suspension and the appointment of Yayari Mohammed as his replacement.
Speaking, Governor Mohammed pointed out that internal conflicts among NWC members have hampered the PDP’s ability to function effectively as an opposition party.
He noted that personal ambitions have often overshadowed the Party’s collective agenda, undermining its national performance.
Mohammed also underscored the PDP’s rich legacy, highlighting its strong constitution and significant accomplishments during its 16 years in power.
He stressed the NWC’s commitment to revitalizing the party in line with the vision of its founders and promised to restore hope among members, particularly the youth and key stakeholders.
This decision by the PDP governors marks a critical step in addressing the party’s ongoing leadership crisis, particularly the rivalry between Damagum and Yayari Mohammed.
