Ikenga Ugochinyere, a Nigerian lawmaker, accuses the PDP of being controlled by figures aligned with the ruling APC, aiming to weaken the opposition.
November 24, 2024 8:59 pm Ikenga Ugochinyere , a member of the house of representatives, says the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) has been hijacked to become an “errand platform” for the All Progressives Congress ( APC ). Ugochinyere alleged that some PDP governors and other stakeholders are working to keep Umar Damagum as acting national chairman till 2027 to weaken the opposition party.
Speaking on behalf of the opposition coalition lawmakers at a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, Ugochinyere alleged that there is a plot to derail the party’s planned national executive council (NEC). “Today we have a political party—the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—that’s supposed to lead the opposition, but we have political charlatans hijacking the heartbeat of the opposition party,” the lawmaker said.“Today, I want to inform the whole Nigeria that they have perfected a plan to ensure that the NEC meeting to choose a chairman from north central where the position is originally supposed to come from us is not possible. “They want Umar Damagun, an imposter of the highest order, to continue to parade as the national chairman and stay in office till 2027 so they can foist on us a weakling that will be presidential candidate.“We have impostors among us who have no honour and decency. The ruling party will be laughing at them now that they want to sabotage their own party. “First, they said there was a Sallah holiday, and they shifted it; since last year they kept on shifting the NEC meeting till now no NEC meeting; they keep on giving different excuses. “The national leaders of the PDP are frolicking with APC leaders, going to London having meetings with APC leadership. “If the founding fathers of this party are still alive and are seeing what I’m seeing, they will be crying.“I will mention the names of these PDP governors frolicking with APC. They think that by being weaklings, some of them will be allowed to control their state
