40 Lawmakers, Two More Governors Set To Dump PDP – Opposition Coalition

The Nigeria Lawmakers Opposition Coalition has announced that 40 legislators and two additional governors are on the verge of defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing their dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership and direction.

Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the coalition’s spokesman, made this disclosure during a press conference held on Friday in his hometown of Akokwa.

Ugochinyere expressed his disappointment with the current state of the PDP, asserting that its founding members would be ashamed of what the once-proud party has become.

He accused the current leadership of undermining the very platform that brought them to prominence.

The coalition demanded the immediate removal of the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum; the PDP’s 2023 governorship candidate in Imo State, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; and the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

They also called for the emergence of a substantive national chairman from the North Central zone to prevent the party’s collapse.

“For two years, the leaders of this party have failed to find a solution to its internal crisis because they are actively undermining the very platform that made them,” Ugochinyere stated.

He criticized Damagum’s statements invoking divine guidance, questioning his inaction during critical party decisions. “Where was God when you allowed the North Central to be sidelined in appointing an acting chairman? Where was God when you supported APC defectors in court? Or when party structures were handed to APC members? And yet you speak of faith in God?”

He also questioned the continued membership of Nyesom Wike in the PDP, given his open collaboration with the APC-led federal government.
