Revert to status quo – PDP Govs to feuding members

State governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have ordered feuding members of the party to revert to the status quo.

Chairman of the forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, issued the directive after a meeting of the governors, which ended in the early hours of Tuesday.

He said, as a political party, the PDP was bound to have disputes among members but that those challenges could always be resolved.

“There is no crisis. The governors, BoT, and the National Assembly caucus have agreed that the NWC should revert to the status quo,” he said.

Mohammed said all the suspensions have been nullified.

By that statement, it means that the PDP’s National Working Committee should restore the suspended officers, and the acting national chairman should also remain.

Speaking, the suspended acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum confirmed that the crisis was over.

“The party is united, and no members of the NWC left before,” he said.

Recall that on Friday, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja restrained the PDP National Executive Committee, NEC, from removing Umar Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of the party.

The court judgment came after suspension and a counter-suspension crisis rocked the party, causing uproar.
