PDP crisis: Party summons emergency meeting Monday

As the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party persists, the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has charged the factional acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, to revert to the status quo.

A senior party member informed Sunday PUNCH that the PDP Governors Forum has called for an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss various concerns regarding the party’s future.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous due to not being authorised to comment, also revealed that PDP stakeholders were considering the establishment of a caretaker committee to guide the party toward a National Convention to elect a new National Working Committee.

Recall that, since becoming the acting National Chairman following Senator Iyorchia Ayu’s court removal, Damagum has faced increasing criticism from party leaders over the ongoing crisis in the PDP, resulting in calls for his resignation.
