The crisis in the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has deepened as a group known as the PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress (PFCP) berated the Acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, accusing him of sponsoring media propaganda and blackmail against the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, for speaking the truth.
The group was reacting to a publication on the Facebook page of Northern PDP Social Media, which accused Wabara of working against the interests of the PDP and antagonising the Damagum-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
The publication criticised Wabara over his remarks at the 5 December emergency meeting of the party held at the PDP National Secretariat, Abuja.
The PDP BoT Chairman had, at the said meeting, expressed disappointment over the repeated postponement of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting by the Damagum-led NWC.
Wabara was quoted to have said at the meeting: “It is with a deep sense of disappointment that I must express the BoT’s dismay at the continued shifting by the National Working Committee (NWC) in convening a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
