The spokesman for the opposition Federal Lawmakers Coalition, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has welcomed the suspension of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Damagum, by a faction of the party’s National Working Committee.
Recall that following the suspension of Damagum and others, the party’s working committee approved the appointment of Yayari Mohammed, the incumbent national treasurer of the PDP as the Acting National Chairman.
The court ordered that no other person must be recognised as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national convention of the party scheduled for December next year.
In his reaction on Friday, Ugochinyere disagreed with Justice Lifu, noting that the court order didn’t stop the NWC from suspending Damagum.
He insisted that “Yayari Mohammed remains the acting chairman while the party awaits the NEC meeting later this month.”He urged the courts to stay away from PDP internal affairs.
