PDP NWC passes vote of confidence in Damagum
The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has passed a vote of confidence in its acting national chairman, Umar Damagum.
The party’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, announced this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the vote of confidence was passed at the NWC’s 584th meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Ologunagba said the decision was based on Damagum’s efforts to reposition the PDP as the main opposition party in Nigeria.
The party’s National Executive Council meeting was slated for Thursday, and the purpose of the meeting was to either affirm Mr Damagum as chairman or appoint a replacement.
Mr Damagum was appointed as the acting chairman in 2023 following the suspension of the former chairman, Iyorcha Ayu.
