Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has appointed Alhaji Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as its new Acting National Chairman amid the ongoing crisis in the party.<\/p>\n

This decision comes after the faction suspended acting national chairman, Amb. Illiya Damagum.<\/p>\n

The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Friday restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC) and Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from removing Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of the party.<\/p>\n

However, regardless of the court injunction, the party\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, announced Mohammed\u2019s appointment in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

The statement reads, \u201cFollowing the suspension of His Excellency, Amb. Illiya Damagum as the Acting National Chairman of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the National Working Committee (NWC) has approved the appointment of Alhaji Yayari Ahmed Mohammed as the Acting National Chairman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment which takes immediate effect is pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NWC calls on all Organs, leaders, critical stakeholder and members of our great Party to remain focused at this critical time especially as the NWC commences arrangements towards the holding of the Party\u2019s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting already scheduled for Thursday, 24th October, 2024\u201d.<\/p>\n
