The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum (PDP-GF) has directed all members involved in internal disputes to return to the status quo.

This instruction was issued by the forum’s Chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, following a meeting of the PDP governors that concluded in the early hours of Tuesday.

Governor Mohammed acknowledged that disagreements are inevitable in a political party like the PDP, but emphasized that such challenges can always be resolved.

He said, “There is no crisis. The Governors, BoT, and the National Assembly caucus have agreed that the NWC should revert to the status quo.”

Mohammed said all the suspensions have been nullified.

By that statement, it implies that the PDP’s National Working Committee should reinstate the suspended officers, while also allowing the acting national chairman to retain his position.

On Friday, the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a ruling preventing the PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) from removing Umar Damagum as the Acting National Chairman.

This judgement followed a period of internal turmoil, marked by suspensions and counter-suspensions, which had triggered significant unrest within the party.
