Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye on Friday charged the suspended acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagum to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Melaye, who described Damagum as an agent of destruction, said the suspended chairman has done enough harm to PDP.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Melaye wrote: \u201cAPC agent of destruction, enough is enough, Damagum. Go and join APC in peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cBye-bye, Damagum, the harm you\u2019ve done is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

A faction of the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, had suspended Damagum and the party\u2019s national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.<\/p>\n

The factional NWC also suspended the party\u2019s national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba and national legal adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.<\/p>\n

However, the Abuja Federal High Court restrained the National Executive Committee, NEC, and PDP\u2019s Board of Trustees, BoT, from removing Damagum as the party\u2019s acting national chairman.<\/p>\n

The court ordered that no other person must be recognised as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national convention of the party, scheduled for December next year.<\/p>\n
