PDP NWC Passes Vote of Confidence on Damagum

Ahead of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party has passed a Vote of Confidence on the Party’s Acting National Chairman, Amb. Umar Iliya Damagum.

According to Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the party, the decision of the NWC which came at the end of its 584th meeting at the Party’s National Secretariat on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, “is in commendation of the efforts and commitment of the Acting National Chairman to stabilize and reposition the PDP as the main opposition Party in Nigeria.”

The NWC also assured of its commitment in ensuring the continued stability, growth and success of our great Party at all time.

Ologunagba said: “The Deputy National Chairman (South) Amb. Taofeek Arapaja presided over the motion for Vote of Confidence on the Acting National Chairman which was moved by the National Vice Chairman (South East) Chief Ali Odefa and seconded by the National Treasurer, Hon. Yayari Mohammed.”

The PDP is currently facing one of its toughest battles since the 2023 election as some stakeholders are calling for leadership change and suspension of Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over alleged anti-party activities.

The party has promised to come out stronger  and more united after the NEC meeting.
