The ongoing turmoil within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deepened on October 11, 2024, with the integrity faction appointing Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the new acting National Chairman.
This move follows the suspension of National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade SAN and National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba by the faction led by acting chairman Umar Damagum.
In a quick response, Ologunagba announced the suspension of Damagum and National Secretary Sam Anyanwu for alleged anti-party activities.
Ologunagba confirmed that Mohammed’s appointment is effective immediately and complies with the PDP’s amended constitution from 2017.
