Former PDP Spokesman Demands Damagun’s Resignation Amidst Party Turmoil: Calls For Reform And North-Central Leadership....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Kola Ologbondiyan, the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called for the resignation of the party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun, to address the ongoing internal conflicts within the PDP.

In an interview with Saturday PUNCH, Ologbondiyan emphasized that Damagun’s stepping down is crucial for implementing necessary reforms and restoring stability within the party.

This call echoes previous demands from various party members, including 60 PDP House of Representatives members, who have criticized Damagun for his perceived closeness to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and have urged his resignation.

Ologbondiyan attributed the party’s current issues to Damagun’s leadership, arguing that his departure is essential for the PDP to function effectively as an opposition party. He proposed that Damagun should return to his former position as Deputy National Chairman (North).

As the former spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization during the 2023 election, Ologbondiyan asserted that genuine reconciliation within the party could only be achieved by appointing a new national chairman from the North-Central region, which has been without a chairmanship since the suspension of Iyorchia Ayu.

Ologbondiyan stated, “For the PDP to fulfill its objectives, justice must be served. Damagun has assumed the role of a substantive chairman, which should have been filled by someone from the North-Central. If he had stepped back and allowed the North-Central to produce a substantive chairman, many of the party’s major issues might have been resolved.

Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, has rejected assertions that he is breaching a zoning agreement that would supposedly limit Ebonyi North senators to one term. Addressing claims from his APGA challenger, Chief Chikadoli Ojimba, who recently called for him to step down, Senator Nwebonyi stated there is no constitutional or political mandate requiring him to abandon his 2027 reelection bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking to the press in Abakaliki on Sunday, the Senator pointed to the precedent set by former Governor Sam Egwu, who successfully served two terms in the Senate, to argue that the alleged one-term policy lacks binding authority. Highlighting his own constituency initiatives and record, Nwebonyi stated he faces no serious competition for his seat and emphasized that public service should be defined by sacrifice rather than personal gain.

Additionally, the Senator expressed strong support for the APC’s prospects in Ebonyi State and lauded President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure development in the South-East. He further praised Governor Francis Nwifuru as a unifying leader, dismissing rumors of friction within the Izzi clan and calling on stakeholders to prioritize the state’s collective development over divisive politics.

The festivities, which began after 2 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium, wound through Highbury, Canonbury, and Upper Street before concluding back at the stadium. This parade honored a league victory confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year championship drought. During the event, fans were seen climbing trees and rooftops to see Mikel Arteta’s squad as the players showcased the Premier League trophy. The procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women’s team, winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup this past February.

This celebration followed a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, where Arsenal ultimately fell in a penalty shootout after misses by Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes. Despite the European defeat, the Premier League title held immense significance for the team, coming after three consecutive seasons as runners-up. Reflecting on the massive turnout, journalist Matt Graveling described the celebration as the largest sporting event he had witnessed in his 15-year career.
