London, United Kingdom – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) United Kingdom Chapter has demanded the immediate expulsion of the acting national chairman Umar Iliya Damagum and National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
The group described Damagum and Anyanwu as “treacherous” and “egregious betrayal”.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Dr. Anita Jackson and made available to TimesNow.com.ng on Monday, August 19.
Damagum and Anyanwu are accused of working to undermine Governor Siminalayi Fubara and secretly aligning with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the group, Damagum and Anyanwu are plotting to derail PDP’s progress, and disregarding the party’s constitution.
The group said they must be eradicated if the party is to survive and accused them of interfering in legal matters.
They called on the PDP leadership to take immediate and decisive action against the duo, saying they are a “festering wound” on the PDP’s reputation.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that political tensions are high in Rivers state following another clash between loyalists of Governor Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
Fubara and Wike have been locked in a battle for the political structure of the oil-rich state since 2023.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu intervened in the quarrel in December 2023, but it has refused to subside
