Fatshimetrie, a respected newspaper known for its insightful analysis of political news, recently shed light on the internal tensions brewing within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The party’s National Economic Council (NEC) meeting witnessed calls for action against FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, citing activities detrimental to the party’s interests.
During the gathering, Usman Seidu, the PDP group convener, criticized Damagun and Wike for allegedly undermining the party’s collective efforts and endangering its existence as a robust opposition force.
The group commended former National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, for his dedicated support and decision to withdraw all pending court cases against the party. They urged CEN members to exhibit courage and determination in making tough decisions crucial for revitalizing the party and steering it towards success.
In contrast, the PDP spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, announced that Umar Damagun, the interim president of the PDP, would continue in his role until the subsequent NEC meeting following the scheduled one for Thursday, April 18, 2024.
Regarding the party chairman position, Ologunagba stated that while the NEC would deliberate on it, the caucus had decided for Damagun to retain the chairmanship until the next NEC assembly.
This situation emphasizes the intricate challenges within PDP’s political landscape and underscores the imperative for the party to reconcile internal disparities to uphold a unified and influential front. The party’s future trajectory rests on forthcoming decisions made in subsequent meetings and members’ collaborative efforts towards shared objectives.
