The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has accused some party leaders, including members of the Board of Trustees (BoT), of complicity in the ongoing crisis affecting the National Working Committee (NWC).
Damagum, in a statement on Wednesday, warned party leaders to refrain from actions that could undermine the forthcoming zonal congresses. He emphasized the need for introspection, urging members to prioritize the party’s unity and integrity, which he described as a shared responsibility and the party’s most valuable asset.
He said,“I want to say this with the highest sense of responsibility, part of this crisis that you see today within the NWC, is propelled by our leaders who are supposed to unite us.“
“And as the conscience of this party, some of us are also complicit. We should look inwards, and search our conscience. This party is dear to all of us, it is the only thing we have.“
“It’s very unfortunate, I would say it the way it is, where people are called, we all know the working of NWC, some of you here have been NWC members.“
“I’ll be sitting down at the chairman only to see my members called by certain leaders to visit certain places, without my knowledge.”
