    PDP Crisis: Why We Suspended Damagum, Anyanwu – Ologunagba

    The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Debo Ologunagba, in a statement on Friday, has advanced reasons the acting national chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, was suspended, alongside Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary.

    Recall that the crisis in the main opposition party showed no signs of resolution, as a faction of the National Working Committee had suspended the acting National Chairman, Damagum, and National Secretary, Anyanwu, for alleged disloyalty to the party.

    Earlier, a faction of the NWC aligned with Damagum announced the suspension of the National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, and the National Publicity Secretary, Ologunagba, for alleged disloyalty to the party.

    However, in a new twist, Ologunagba, in a statement on Friday, also announced the suspension of Damagum and Anyanwu.

    The statement read in part, “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP has extensively considered the series of complaints raised against the Acting National Chairman, Amb. Illiya Damagum and National Secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu particularly with regard to the letter addressed by them to the Court of Appeal in Appeal No:CA/PH/307/2024 against the party’s position in the case involving the 27 former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly who vacated their seats upon decamping from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    “The NWC condemned this anti-party activity of the Acting National Chairman and the National Secretary which is in gross violation of the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) and their Oath of Office.

    “Consequently, the NWC, pursuant to Sections 57, 58 and 59 of the PDP Constitution, has suspended Amb. Illiya Damagum and Sen. Samuel Anyanwu as Acting National Chairman and National Secretary of the Party respectively and referred them to the National Disciplinary Committee for further action.

    “In the meantime, the two officials are suspended from all meetings, activities and programs of the NWC pending the conclusion of an investigation by the National Disciplinary Committee.”
