Our leaders are behind NWC crisis, Damagum tells BoT

The acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Iliya Damagum, has blamed unnamed party leaders for fueling the crisis within the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

Speaking during the opening session of the Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, Damagum accused some leaders of interfering in the party’s internal affairs by contacting other NWC members directly, even in his presence.

He expressed frustration over the actions of these leaders, noting that they would not tolerate such behavior if they were in his position as the head of the party.

However, Damagum downplayed the situation, describing the crisis as part of the usual challenges in political organizations and assuring that it would soon be resolved.

Damagum urged party leaders with personal ambitions to exercise caution, warning that such ambitions should not undermine the PDP, which he described as their only viable political platform.

He also assured the BoT that the NWC is working diligently to ensure the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for February takes place as planned.

His reassurance followed a call by the BoT Chairman and former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, who emphasized the importance of holding the NEC meeting as scheduled.

This call was prompted by concerns over the lack of visible preparations for the meeting.
