Ahead of the National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party slated for October 24, two chieftains of the party have disagreed over the zone that should produce a replacement for the party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
Since 2023, the PDP has been experiencing internal turmoil with some members criticising Damagum for not taking effective measures to reform the party.
The PDP members, especially those from North Central therefore demanded Damagum’s replacement, and insisted that it must come from their region.
