The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing internal challenges as 11 members of the National Working Committee (NWC) have moved against the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
The NWC members claim that Damagum did not have the authority to appoint a lawyer to represent the party in a case related to the national secretary position.
According to the NWC members, this responsibility lies with the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, SAN, according to Article 42 of the party’s constitution.
The NWC members stated, “We respectfully urge the Supreme Court and everyone concerned to disregard the said letter. The NWC did not authorise the Acting National Chairman to issue the letter under reference for the party, the National Working Committee, or the National Executive Committee.”
The National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, confirmed signing the letter, stating that it represented the majority stance of the NWC on the issue.
Ologunagba said, “Yes, I signed it, and other members of the NWC also signed it. I believe other members signed it as well because that is the position of the substantial majority of the NWC to reposition the party.”
