JUST IN: 60 PDP Reps Threaten To Quit, Demand Damagum’s Resignation
About 60 People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members in the House of Representatives have threatened to leave the party if the Acting National Chairman Umar Ililya Damagum does not resign immediately.
They are asking for an immediate replacement with someone in the North Central in line with the constitution of the party among other demands.
The lawmakers accused Damagum of handing over the structure of the leadership of the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Delivering the threat on behalf of the 60 PDP lawmakers were five members led by Hon Ugochinyere Ikenga, who addressed reporters at the National Assembly on Monday.
He said the Acting National Chairman, who has been allegedly engaging in anti-party activities, sold the party “for a plate of porridge.”
Ikenga pointed that if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not consistent in opposition over the years, he would not have succeeded as President today.
They said Damagun should go before completely destroying the party.
The lawmakers threatened that if there demands are not met, they would leave the PDP and move to join other political parties.
