The Forum of State Chairmen of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reaffirmed its full support and loyalty to the party’s national chairman, Umar Damagum, dismissing the faction led by Abdulrahman Mohammed as illegitimate.
In a statement issued after its meeting on Thursday,
November 6, the forum, comprising 29 state chairmen, said Damagum remains the
only recognised national chairman of the party under the PDP Constitution
(2017, as amended).
“The forum in the same vein dissociates itself from the
purported Abdurahman leadership and wants to categorically say that the PDP has
only one National Chairman, His Excellency Umar Damagun,” the statement reads.
The forum commended the “collaborative leadership” between
the national working committee (NWC), the PDP Governors’ Forum led by Bala
Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state, and the board of trustees (BoT) chaired by
Adolphus Wabara.
The forum also called on state chapters to enforce party
discipline and take action against members whose activities undermine unity and
cohesion within the party.
“The Forum emphasizes the critical importance of discipline
within the Party and calls on all State Chapters not to hesitate in invoking
the relevant provisions of the Party Constitution to discipline erring members
whose conduct undermines unity, cohesion, and the collective interest of the
PDP,” the statement reads.
The forum further urged all duly recognised delegates to
prepare to participate actively in the forthcoming convention to elect credible
and loyal members into the NWC, stressing that the exercise must uphold
internal democracy and transparency.
The state chairmen pledged continued support for the party’s
national leadership and reiterated its commitment to rebuilding public
confidence in the PDP ahead of future elections.
“The Forum reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the unity,
progress, and electoral success of the PDP across all levels and pledges to
continue working closely with the National leadership to strengthen internal
democracy and rebuild public confidence in the Party,” the statement added.
