Umar Damagum

Umar Damagum, the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),  has stated that he would not be forced into resigning from his role.

The PDP has been grappling with internal conflicts before and after the 2023 general elections.

Damagum has faced consistent criticism from party members who hold him responsible for the persistent turmoil.

“Let me send a message to everyone talking about Damagum this, Damagum that – I cannot be intimidated. The more you mention me, the more popular I become,” Damagum noted while speaking at the ongoing inauguration of the National Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committees, chaired by Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Tom Ikimi, respectively.

He stressed that the criticisms against him would only enhance his popularity and that he was even considering running for the presidency due to this increased recognition.

Damagum expressed frustration with individuals who lacked knowledge of the National Working Committee’s operations and spread misinformation to the public.
