Following the suspension of Illiya Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Debo Ologunagba group National Working Committee (NWC) has approved the appointment of Alhaji Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the Acting National Chairman.

The development is contained in a statement signed by the just-suspended, National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba.

The appointment which takes immediate effect is pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).

?The NWC calls on all Organs, leaders, critical stakeholders and members of our great Party, to remain focused at this critical time especially as the NWC commences arrangements towards the holding of the Party?s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting already scheduled for Thursday, 24th October, 2024,? the statement said in part.

The development comes amid a worsening internal crisis in the PDP. (Channels TV)
