Recall that a faction of the PDP National
Working Committee (NWC) had suspended Damagum and the party’s national
secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
Another factional NWC also suspended the
party’s national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba and national legal
adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.
Reacting to the development on Friday via his
X handle, Melaye stated that the suspended chairman has done enough harm to
PDP.
He wrote, “APC agent of destruction, enough is
enough, Damagum. Go and join APC in peace.
“Bye-bye, Damagum, the harm you’ve done is
enough.”
The Abuja Federal High Court has, however, restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC) and PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT) from removing Damagum as the party’s acting national chairman.
The court ordered that no other person must be
recognised as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national
convention of the party, scheduled for December next year.
Meanwhile, Damagum, has taken a jab at
Nigerians who supported President Bola Tinubu during his campaign.
He said that they are now enduring the
consequences of trading their votes for items like spaghetti and wrappers.
Damagum stated this on Friday during a visit
to the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, who doubles as the Chairman of
the PDP governors forum.
He noted that the ongoing hardships faced by
many should serve as a lesson to prioritize credible and capable leaders over
short-term inducements.
Addressing journalists after a close-door
meeting with the governor and other stakeholders of the PDP, he said, “The APC
was never ready to govern, so what good could possibly come from them?”
“Those who accepted spaghetti and wrappers to
bring in this government are suffering the most, and this should serve as a
lesson. We must seek credible, proven, and tested leaders who are genuinely
prepared to govern, not those who simply say, emi lo kan,” (SIC).
Damagum expressed concern over the continued
hardship many Nigerians are enduring, which he attributed to policies from
Tinubu’s administration under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Damagum’s visit, Governor Bala
Mohammed denied the existence of any faction within the PDP.
He also reassured that the issues of
suspension and internal crises would be resolved amicably.
