The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, remains in control during the leadership dispute affecting the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). During a recent meeting of the party’s national caucus, it was decided that the acting National Chairman, Illya Umar Damagum, should stay in his current position, aligning with Wike’s wishes.
In order to ensure focus on continuity, today’s NEC meeting will not discuss leadership changes until the upcoming national convention of the party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, revealed the decision to promote reconciliation and unity within the party. He explained that the caucus had instructed the party’s leadership to establish a committee focused on discipline and reconciliation to mend relationships among all members.
“NEC meeting will not discuss any change in leaders. Rather, attention is focused on unity and reconciliation.
“Caucus agreed that all congresses in the states and local government should be concluded between June and August this year.
“Caucus agreed on the extension of the constitution review committee of the party to accept new recommendations,” Ologunagba said.
