The acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Umar Damagum, has warned that nobody can intimidate him into resigning from his position.
Damagum said those calling for his resignation are only enhancing his popularity.
Speaking at the inauguration of the National Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committees, the acting chairman berated those spreading misinformation about the National Working Committee’s operations.
“Let me send a message to everyone talking about Damagum this, Damagum that – I cannot be intimidated. The more you mention me, the more popular I become,” Damagum said.
Earlier in the week, there were indications that the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) might sanction Damagum and National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, over an alleged letter to the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt.
The letter was seen as an anti-party activity, and some party leaders, including members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), reportedly pushed for action against Damagum and Anyanwu.
