PDP obeys court order, replaces Ayu with Damagum | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️
PDP National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu ; representative of the National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum; Deputy National Chairman, South, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja; vice presidential candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, during the inauguration of the 2022 Osun Governorship Election Campaign Council in Abuja… yesterday.
Reading a statement during the presentation of Damagum as acting national chairman, the national publicity secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, said: “The NWC, at an emergency meeting today , acknowledged the order of the Benue State High Court, dated March 27, with regards to the chairmanship position of our party.
A spokesman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has described the suspension of Ayu as illegal and not in conformity with the party’s Constitution, adding that the ex parte order from the court restraining Ayu from parading himself or performing his duties as national chairman was most unfortunate, as the basis for granting the order was faulty.
BUT the Rivers governor has advised Ayu to accept that his reign has come to an end. The governor said Ayu’s claim that only the NEC can suspend him is not correct. “Those lawyers telling you that the Ward has no power to suspend you, that it’s only NEC, means you don’t understand what is happening. When you came, it was the Ward that suspended Uche Secondus, and you went and took office.
