The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a ruling that prohibits the National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from ousting Umar Damagum from his role as Acting National Chairman.
Justice Peter Lifu ruled that until the party’s national convention set for December 2025, Damagum is the only individual recognized as the national chairman of the PDP.
The decision came during a judgment in a case brought by Senator Umar El-Gash Maina, who argued that certain party stakeholders were covertly attempting to remove Damagum in violation of the PDP’s constitution.
