Umar Damagum, the acting national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated on Wednesday that the party’s current struggles stem from members prioritizing their personal ambitions over the party’s core ideology.
During a meeting in Abuja with the PDP’s founding members and stakeholders, Damagum characterized the internal conflicts within the party as “self-inflicted.”
He expressed hope that members who have left the party would reconsider their decision and return.

He also cautioned members against speaking negatively about the party or associating with other political groups.
“It is either you are a PDP member or not, as you cannot belong to two political parties at a time, ” Damagum said.
“But we must also confront the hard truth: Much of the injury the PDP has suffered has been self-inflicted. From the Obasanjo era, presidency, to this moment, we have too often jettisoned ideology in favour of personal ambition.
“However, let it be said and known that our doors remain open to those who wish to return, and it is my earnest prayer that in their return, they may rediscover themselves. After all, we are still the party that gave many their first political home,” he said.
