    โ€œPDP Nurtured Kwankwasoโ€™s Political Careerโ€ โ€“ Damagum

    The Acting National Chairman, the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Damagum, stated that the party played a key role in shaping the political career of the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

    During an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Tuesday, Damagum stated that the PDP was crucial in shaping Kwankwaso into who he is today.

    He also mentioned that even if the NNPP merges with three other parties, they will not win an election without the PDP.

    Recall that in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Monday, Kwankwaso criticized the PDP and its leaders, expressing his frustration over the humiliation he faced in 2015, which ultimately led to his departure from the party.

    Damagum stated that despite the challenges the PDP has faced, the party is still very much alive.

    He questioned that if the party was able to survive Kwankwasoโ€™s departure, why would anyone believe it is irrelevant now?

    He stated, โ€œPeople are entitled to their opinions, but I want to remind him of the past. When they left the PDP in 2015, if the party didnโ€™t die back then, during a time they thought they had weakened it, I donโ€™t see why anyone would claim it is dead now.

    โ€œLetโ€™s not forget that the PDP remains the only party capable of winning elections if you exclude the ruling APC.

    โ€œThat said, there is no party better than the PDP for Kwankwaso. The party nurtured his political career and brought him to where he is today. We still hope he will return to work with us to rebuild our party and confront this oppressive government.โ€

    Damagum highlighted the PDPโ€™s resilience and continued influence, pointing to its lasting structure and widespread presence throughout Nigeria.

    He continued, โ€œThe PDP is the only party that has consistently won elections without being in power. Senator Kwankwaso may have left, but how many states did he win with his new party? The facts speak for themselves.

    โ€œFor over two decades, the PDP has remained steadfast, maintaining its identity and producing governors and lawmakers in every part of the country.

    โ€œEven if four parties merge without the PDP, they cannot win an election. Weโ€™ve seen this play out repeatedly. Where are those parties now? Even their alliances with other parties have not delivered the desired results.

    โ€œI admit that some of his claims about the challenges we faced back then are valid. As the Deputy National Chairman (North) at the time, my powers were limited, but we tried to resolve the issues. Unfortunately, those efforts fell short. He himself acknowledged this in previous interviews.โ€

    Despite these differences, Damagum expressed hope for a possible reconciliation with Kwankwaso.
