Protesters stormed the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja on Wednesday, expressing their solidarity with the Acting National Chairman of the Party, Umar Damagun, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Carrying placards adorned with various inscriptions, the demonstrators accused some individuals within the PDP of attempting to sow discord within the party’s leadership ranks.
The protest was held just an hour before the PDP governors’ forum meeting and a day before the anticipated gathering of the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC).
The meetings are geared towards determining whether Damagum will remain national chairman.
The PDP has recently faced internal turmoil, with some members calling for the resignation of the National Working Committee (NWC) due to perceived failures in steering the party’s course effectively.
