Suswam demands PDP chairman Damagum’s removal

Published

He claimed that Damagum has turned the party into a “business venture” and is unfit to continue in his current position.
Former Benue State Governor, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has called for the immediate removal of Umar Damagum, the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing leadership failures and poor performance.
Suswam voiced his concerns during an expanded caucus meeting of the PDP in Makurdi, stressing that Damagum’s leadership is leading the party astray.
“Damagum must go, whether they like it or not,” Suswam declared, accusing the party’s national leadership of undermining the PDP’s integrity.
He claimed that Damagum has turned the party into a “business venture” and is unfit to continue in his current position.

Suswam further revealed what he called “conspiracies” within the PDP’s national leadership, which he believes are aimed at destroying the party.
He criticised the recent local government and state congresses in Benue State, referring to them as “kangaroo congresses.”
According to him, the delegates chosen were not legitimate since there were no proper ward or local government congresses to validate the process.
“The process was a sham, and it will not stand,” Suswam declared, promising to explore alternative ways to resolve the crisis and ensure a fair outcome.

“You will not regret your loyalty to the party,” Abah reassured, encouraging members to stay committed.
Other party leaders, including Udu Nyitse, Cletus Upaa, John Ngbede, and Hyacinth Inyakuma, expressed confidence in the party’s future, particularly as they prepare for the 2027 elections, emphasising their optimism for the party’s resilience amidst the ongoing crisis.

Alhaji Abdulmajid Dan Bilki Commander, a Kano-based chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has disclosed that campaigning for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election was the biggest regret of his life.
Commander stressed that in his entire life, there has never been any decision he regretted so much than campaigning for the former Lagos State Governor.
According to the ruling party chieftain, the President has failed many Nigerians who voted for him in 2023, given the performance indicators available to every Nigerian.
Commander, who claimed to remain an active APC member, regretted dedicating his time and resources to convincing people to vote for the party.

“It pains me, but it is the truth, and let the truth be told. I am an active member of APC, but I must admit that Nigeria’s administration under APC has failed Nigerians, and as an individual who had dedicated his time and resources in convincing people to vote for the party, I want to state here that I am regretting my action,” he told Daily Trust.
The Kano politician also declared that he must seek their forgiveness as a representative of the masses, given that the APC-led government has not delivered on its promises.
Commander added that Nigerians are suffering, and their expectations from the APC government have not been met.
“Nigerians are hungry and angry. Their security not guaranteed and governance lopsided, they couldn’t afford two square meals per day,” he said.

Another loss for PDP as Kebbi Rep member defects to APC

Another Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Salisu Koko, who represents the Koko-Besse/Maiyama Constituency of Kebbi State, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Amos Magaji, representing Kaduna’s Zango Kataf/Jaba Federal Constituency, defected to the ruling APC during Tuesday’s plenary.
The Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, who made the announcement on the floor of the house during plenary in Abuja on Wednesday, told the APC caucus to welcome Koko as one of them.
Abbas quoted Koko as attributing his defection to the protracted crisis in the opposition PDP.
However, the Minority Leader, Rep. Kingsley Chinda, raised a point of order, saying there was no ‘protracted’ crisis in PDP.
Chinda urged the house to acknowledge the consequences of defection without compliance with the provisions of the constitution.
Supporting the minority leader, Rep. Ben Etanabene amplified what he called the consequences of the defection, which, according to him, included the lawmaker’s vacation from his seat.
The speaker, however, overruled the point order, saying that the house had no powers to implement such constitutional provisions.
He, therefore, urged the aggrieved lawmakers to approach the appropriate quarters to address the issue.

A former presidential spokesman, Dr Doyin Okupe, on Wednesday commended President Bola Tinubu for demonstrating brilliance, composure and a good grasp of national issues during his maiden media chat.
Okupe commended Tinubu in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.
He was reacting to Tinubu’s first Presidential Media Chat on Monday night, marking a significant moment in his administration’s engagement with Nigerians.
The broadcast transmitted on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), was a comprehensive dialogue on national issues. Okupe said,
Kudos to the President’s media team on the first Presidential Media Chat. President Tinubu was bold, brilliant and showed brightness in expressivity
This, I dare say, he is a damn good President. And I should know, I worked for two past Presidents,
Recall that Tinubu spoke to select journalists at his Lagos residence on Monday, in his first such media appearance since he assumed office about 18 months ago.
Topics discussed included subsidy removal, tax bills, economic reforms, size of governance and corruption.
