Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convened a crucial meeting last night to tackle internal conflicts that have affected the party in recent months. A primary concern was the role of acting national chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, whose leadership has sparked division within the party.

The governors also reviewed preparations for the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for tomorrow, which is anticipated to address Damagum’s future and other significant issues facing the party.

Attendees included Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), and Ademola Adeleke (Osun). Key stakeholders present were Damagum himself, former Senate President and PDP Board of Trustees Chairman Adolphus Wabara, National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, National Treasurer Ahmed Yayari Muhammed, and party spokesman Debo Ologunagba, among others. Discussions were still underway at the time of this report.

Before the closed-door session, Governor Bala Mohammed clarified that the meeting was not a PDP Governors Forum assembly, but rather a gathering of PDP stakeholders aimed at resolving internal issues. He promised that the resolutions would be made public once the meeting concluded.

In a related update, the PDP Governors Forum refuted claims that Governor Bala Mohammed or his associates had filed a lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Gusau, Zamfara, to compel the convening of the party’s NEC meeting. Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, Director General of the PDP Governors Forum, issued a statement denying these allegations, asserting that Governor Bala had not initiated any legal action regarding the NEC meeting, either directly or through proxies, and urged the public to dismiss the false reports.
