60 members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday demanded the resignation of the party’s Acting National Chairman, Iliya Damagun, over the alleged doctored list of party’s caretaker committees in Rivers and 10 other states.
The members who came together under the aegis of the opposition lawmaker’s coalition threatened to quit the party claiming the list was filled with loyalists of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
In a communiqué issued at a media briefing in Abuja and read by the lawmaker representing Ideato Federal Constituency, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, they accused Damagum of planning to hand over the PDP to APC in Rivers State.
