Recall that a faction of the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, had suspended Damagum and the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.

The factional NWC also suspended the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.

The Abuja Federal High Court, however, restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP from removing Damagum as the acting National Chairman of the party.

The court ordered that no person other than Damagum be recognized as national chairman of the PDP until the party’s national convention scheduled for December next year.
