Damagum stated this while welcoming some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, who defected to the PDP.
Umar lliya Damagum, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has submitted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is more divided than the PDP.
He made the claim while welcoming some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, who defected to the PDP in Nguru and Bade Local Government Areas of Yobe State.
According to him, the PDP is always a formidable opposition force, noting that the party knows how to address any internal issues if they arise.
“If there is a crisis, we know how to solve it. We are united, and our leadership is intact.
“We have one chairman and one secretariat, while the ruling party cannot even hold a NEC meeting for almost two years. You can’t compare the two,” he said.
He pointed out that the ruling party has not been able to hold a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in nearly two years.
“I don’t know why the media continues to report crises within our party,” he added.
Damagum reiterated that the PDP remains a strong and united brand, adding, “We are the party to beat.”
He maintained that the party’s doors are open to those who left in the past, as it prepares to build a credible force for the 2027 elections.
