The Senator Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for peace and a return to the status quo among feuding members of the National Working Committee (NWC).
Naija News reports that the BoT Chairman made this known in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja.
While expressing concern over the ongoing internal crisis, Wabara urged all parties involved to de-escalate tensions for the sake of party unity.
He said: “The BoT calls on all sides of the NWC to sheath their swords and revert to the status quo to preserve the unity and stability of our great party.”
The BoT Chairman emphasized that while disagreements are natural, the PDP’s tradition of internal democracy must not be compromised.
Wabara also assured members that the BoT would engage with the NWC to foster reconciliation and restore normalcy.
He added “We remain committed to promoting peace, unity, and progress within the PDP, and we call on all party faithful and supporters to stay calm as we resolve these issues.”
A faction of the PDP loyal to the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, had in a statement on Friday morning announced the suspension of its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN).
The PDP National Director of Publicity, Chinwe Nnorom, made this known in a statement issued in the early hours of Friday.
Nnorom explained that the party has established a committee, led by Deputy National Chairman (South) Taofeek Arapaja, to investigate the concerns raised against the officers in accordance with the party’s Constitution.
But in a swift reaction, the faction led by Ajibade suspended Damagum, and National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, over allegations of disloyalty to the party.
Ologunagba issued a statement on Friday declaring that both Damagum and Anyanwu would also be suspended from their positions.
