The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has recently passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the party’s chairman, Amb. Umar Iliya Damagum. This decision was made during a meeting held on Tuesday, April 16, in Abuja, where the NWC commended Damagum for his efforts to stabilize the party and maintain its position as Nigeria’s foremost opposition political platform.
According to the committee, Damagum’s initiatives and sacrifices have played a crucial role in keeping the PDP together and ensuring its relevance in the political landscape of Nigeria. The NWC highlighted the importance of recognizing and appreciating the efforts of leaders like Damagum who work tirelessly to uphold the values and principles of the party.
The decision to pass a vote of confidence on Damagum was initiated by the party’s action national deputy chairman (southeast), Chief Ali Chidera, and seconded by the national treasurer, Hon. Yayari Mohammed. The NWC believes that this gesture is essential in acknowledging the commitment and dedication of Damagum to the stability and growth of the PDP.
In a statement released by the PDP’s national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the NWC reiterated its commitment to ensuring the continued stability, growth, and success of the party. The statement emphasized the crucial role that Damagum has played in stabilizing and repositioning the PDP as the main opposition party in Nigeria.
The power play within the ranks of the PDP has been escalating, with tensions rising between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and FCT minister Nyesom Wike ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. There have been discussions regarding whether Damagum should retain his position as the acting national chairman or be replaced.
Despite the internal dynamics and challenges facing the party, the NWC’s decision to pass a vote of confidence on Damagum reflects a unified stance in support of his leadership. The committee recognizes the importance of continuity and stability in leadership, especially during times of political uncertainty and transition.
Overall, the PDP’s NWC’s decision to reaffirm its confidence in Damagum underscores the party’s commitment to upholding its core values and principles. By recognizing and appreciating the efforts of leaders who contribute to the growth and success of the party, the PDP aims to strengthen its position as a credible and influential opposition political platform in Nigeria.
