The ongoing crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seems far from over, as the integrity faction made a bold move on Friday by appointing Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the acting National Chairman, according to News360 Nigeria.




Earlier in the day, the National Working Committee (NWC), under the leadership of acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, suspended National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade SAN and National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, citing their involvement in alleged anti-party activities.


However, in a surprising twist, another faction of the NWC, via a statement issued by Ologunagba, announced the suspension of Damagum and National Secretary Sam Anyanwu for similar reasons.


Speaking on behalf of the integrity group, Ologunagba confirmed that Mohammed’s appointment is effective immediately, in accordance with the PDP’s amended 2017 constitution.


The statement partially read, "Following the suspension of His Excellency, Ambassador Illiya Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Working Committee (NWC) has approved the appointment of Alhaji Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the Acting National Chairman."


It further urged party leaders, key stakeholders, and members to remain united as the NWC prepares for the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2024.
