He pointed out that Damagum is from the Northeast, and the Northcentral wants the position of National Chairman to return to the region.
Kola Ologbondiyan, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has slammed the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagum.
Speaking on Tuesday, he said Damagum is occupying the seat illegally.
Ologbondiyan made the remark against the backdrop of external forces trying to destroy the PDP.
Featuring on Arise TV’s Morning Show, the former National Publicity Secretary of PDP said there are attempts to make the party an arm of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He pointed out that Damagum is from the Northeast, and the Northcentral wants the position of National Chairman to return to the region.
According to Ologbondiyan: “Like a proverb said, if there is no spilt on the wall, the lizard can’t come in, so definitely there will be issues in the party, but how much these issues are managed is one side, and how external influences come into them to finally disrupt and reduce the party to nothing else is also there.
“There are issues in the party. In the case of the National Chairman, the Northcentral believes that the position should return to them. Damagum is from the Northeast, and he is occupying that position.
“No matter how long he continues to stay there, Damagum is staying there illegitimately. It’s an issue in the party.”
