The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the Acting National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Damagum, and its National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu over anti-party activities and referred them to them to the National Disciplinary Committee for further action.
A statement issued by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, on Friday morning said the suspension was pursuant to Sections 57, 58 and 59 of the party constitution.
”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,” the statement said.
