By Habibu Idris Gimba, Damaturu The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum, has dismissed claims of an internal crisis within the party, insisting that the PDP remains unified despite media reports to the contrary. Damagum stated that the PDP is always a formidable opposition force, emphasizing that the party knows how to address any internal issues if they arise. He made these remarks while welcoming members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) who defected to the PDP in Nguru and Bade Local Government Areas of Yobe State.
“The PDP is always the party to beat,” Damagum said, adding, “If there is a crisis, we know how to solve it. We are united, and our leadership is intact.” Tinubu extends stay in Europe Tinubu monitoring developments in Nigeria from Europe – Presidency Damagum also compared the unity within the PDP to the ruling APC, asserting that the APC is more divided.
He pointed out that the ruling party has not been able to hold a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in nearly two years. “I don’t know why the media continues to report crises within our party,” he said. “We have one chairman and one secretariat, while the ruling party cannot even hold a NEC meeting for almost two years.
You can’t compare the two.” Damagum reiterated that the PDP remains a strong and united brand, adding, “We are the party to beat. Our doors are open to those who have left in the past, and we welcome them back as we prepare to build a credible force for the 2027 elections.
” Earlier, Hon. Shareef Abdullahi Gashua, the PDP’s former governorship candidate in the 2023 elections, stated that the party is restructuring its framework in preparation for the 2027 elections.
