The House of Representatives Minority Caucus who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have dismissed the purported call by 60 members of the party in the House for the Acting National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Damagum, to resign or they would dump the party.
The Caucus, in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, said it disassociated itself from the coalition made up of opposition lawmakers led by Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, saying such a body is unknown to the parliament and they refuse to be part of such coalition.
In the statement co-signed by all the minority caucus leaders namely Kingsley Chinda who is the Caucus leader, Ali Madaki, Deputy leader, Ali Isah J.C., Minority Whip and George Ozodinobi, Deputy Minoroty Whip, noted that the 60-man coalition did not have the support of the Caucus in their threat to leave the PDP if Damagum does not step down.
