Sixty members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on the party’s acting National Chairman, UMAR DAMAGUM, to resign.

The 60 lawmakers demanded the resignation of DAMAGUM, accusing him, among others, of being in bed with the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The opposition lawmakers also accused DAMAGUM of plotting to use the Federal High Court to legalise the extension of the tenure of Rivers State Local Government Areas Chairmen.

They said the Acting National Chairman, who has been allegedly engaging in anti-party activities, sold the party “for a plate of porridge.”

They insisted that DAMAGUM must resign immediately before completely destroying the PDP.

They declared that if DAMAGUM does not step down the 60 lawmakers will resign, sever all relationships with the party and seek new political alliances elsewhere.
