He expressed concern over the complicity of Damagun, his secretary, and the national organizing secretary, which he believes are a threat to the party’s stability.

Senator Suswam instilled hope in party members, asserting that the sham created by Ortom in the acclaimed congresses would not stand. He noted that during the last BOT meeting, Damagun insisted on retaining his position despite the call for his resignation by the majority. Suswam pointed out that the PDP governors also believe Damagun should step down. He questioned how the opinions of four individuals could outweigh those of nine, affirming that the NEC meeting scheduled for October 24 must hold and the rule of law must take precedence.

He further emphasized that leadership is about the party whether he leads or another candidate outside Wike’s camp is chosen, he supports the decision.

Regarding the recent theft at the party secretariat, Suswam stated that law enforcement agencies are handling the matter and the thieves must return the stolen property.

He added that any individual or group wishing to break away from the party is free to do so, but criminal activities such as stealing from him will not be tolerated.

In response, Elders Udugh Nyitse, Cletus Upaa and Sir John Ngbede who spoke on behalf of zones A B &C declared their unwavering commitment to the PDP. They affirmed that they have never left the party since our present democratic journey from 1999 and have no intention of doing so in the near future.They cautioned transactional politicians to stay clear of the PDP as the party is undergoes a rebuilding process, stating that they are not prepared to accommodate them.

Hyicent Nyakuma; former House of Representatives members, led by Hon. Benjamin Mzondu; and former PDP state chairmen, led by Hon. Mike Iduma.
