Atiku’s Loss, Wike’s Gain As PDP Caucus Tells Damagum To Continue As Chairman

Intense efforts by Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his associates including Senator Dino Melaye and the G60 Reps caucus of the party to cause removal of the party’s acting National Chairman, Illya Umar Damagum, have failed.

Rather, the National Caucus which had Atiku and his fiercest rival, Nyesom Wike, the current FCT Minister, largely blamed for the formen’s defeat in 2023, in attendance among others gave a nod for Damagum to continue to lead the party.
