The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Umar Damagun, has ink blotted out any rumors of his resignation, claiming them as convenient lies. His personal assistant, Nuru Shehu Jos, has confirmed that Damagun remains in the championship, and the party’s constitution ensures him four more years of service. The PDP insists that reports of his resignation are false and aimed at misrepresenting the party’sstraightsline.
The PDP is resolute in its stance, denying that Arise News, a well-known BBC Newrooms affiliate, was the source of any false report claiming Damagun’s resignation. The party has repeatedly warned the public not to spread misinformation, urging them to remain vigilant.
The party has highlighted the critical need for unity in its ranks, noting that the PDP is committed to advancing its agenda during the 2027 elections. It remains increasingly focused on rebuilding trust amid a fragile momentum in relation to the ceremony. The party points out that its efforts have contributed to key strategies to gain majority despite the challenges posed by ceremonies and instability, such as a lack of public support and a short-lived governing duo.
