A faction of PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, suspended Damagum alongside the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.
However, an Abuja Federal High Court restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC) and PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT) from removing Damagum as the party’s acting national chairman.
The court ordered that no other person must be recognized as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national convention of the party which is scheduled for December next year.
