Nigeria's independent online newspaper

Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the house of representatives have asked Umar Damagum, acting chairman of the party, to tender his resignation.They accused Damagum of anti-party activities.The legislators accused Damagum of allegedly masterminding the “doctoring” of caretaker committee members lists in Rivers and 10 other states.

“Rather, the Umar Damagum-led NWC is assiduously working to hand over the party to the ruling APC and their agents. The legislature said Damagum was only told to step in, hold the fort and “midwife the process through which the north-central would present another person who would complete the slot of the zone”.

“This is a direct attempt to kill the PDP and ensure it goes into extinction. To make issues clearer, we are speaking on behalf of at least 60 lawmakers in the opposition lawmakers’ coalition in the national assembly. We all won our elections without any form of help or support from the party hierarchy.“It has become clearer to us that this scenario was foisted so that as many of us as possible would fail the elections. Damagum never really wanted us to win.
