Wike succeeds as PDP caucus extends Damagum’s tenure as acting chairman
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has endorsed the acting National Chairman, Illya Umar Damagum, to continue in office during the party’s national caucus meeting on Wednesday night.
With this approval, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, continues to maintain an upper hand in the leadership crisis plaguing the opposition party.
By this fresh bill of health, Damagum is to continue acting in office till the next NEC meeting after today (Thursday).
After Damagum’s endorsement, Thursday’s meeting would have nothing to do with leadership change until the next national convention of the party.

“NEC meeting will not discuss any change in leaders. Rather, attention is focused on unity and reconciliation
“Caucus agreed that all congresses in the states and local governments should be concluded between June and August this year.
“Caucus agreed on the extension of the constitution review committee of the party to accept new recommendations,” Ologunagba stated.
