JUST-IN: PDP Confirms Damagum As Substantive National Chairman

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed Amb. Umar Damagum as its substantive national chairman after serving in an acting capacity for more than a year.

The decision was ratified on Monday during the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.

Damagum, who has steered the affairs of the party since March 2023 following the suspension and eventual exit of former national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, will now officially lead the PDP into its forthcoming national elective convention.

His confirmation came ahead of the national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State, where new national officers of the party are expected to emerge.
