Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ambassador Umar Damagum, has given reasons why the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party under his leadership will not be in a rush to suspend nor dismiss any disloyal member despite pressure from stakeholders.

Damagum who disclosed this while addressing the PDP Mobilisers Group in Abuja on Saturday, said that the NWC had approved to set up a committee to review and reconcile all aggrieved members instead of placing sanctions on them.
The Chairman noted that what the party was more interested in at this point in time was to reconcile and bring more people into the party than sanctioning anyone for alleged anti-party, which could destroy the party.
Damagum who was reacting to several calls by some leaders in the party for recalcitrant members like Minister for FCT, Nyesom Wike, former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Okezie Ikpeazu and others should be sanctioned for the anti-party activities before, during and after the 2023 general elections, said taking such drastic measures could finally bury the party.

“I have been seeing the agitations within our platforms saying the NWC was not doing this or doing that. This is an opportunity for me to explain,” Damagum said.
“Somebody has said sometimes when you are not knowledgeable about certain things and you go on saying about your thinking, it will always injure the sensibility of others to understand you. Suspending people here and there, taking such drastic measures could finally bury the party
