According to him, with the removal of Damagun, transformation of PDP will begin, as the party has faced many setbacks and challenges due to alleged Damagun’s anti-party activities and frolicking with the party’s enemies.

The lawmaker urged PDP Governors and stakeholders to meet to stop Damagun, whom hem accused if being an APC agent alongside their Pro-Wike APC group, from further destroying the party.

The statement read, “The news of Damagun suspension is a welcome development, there’s jubiliation everywhere, PDP faithfuls, supporters and stakeholders are very happy with this development. Damagun has been working with our enemies to destroy the party and render it incapable of contesting the 2027 elections.

“With the removal of Damagun, transformation of PDP will begin, as the party has faced many setbacks and challenges due to Damagun anti-party activities and frolicking with the party’s enemy Nyesom Wike. I urge PDP Governors and stakeholders to meet to stop Damagun who is an APC agent alongside their ProWike APC group from further destruction of the Party.”
