The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed Umar Damagum as its substantive National Chairman. The confirmation took place during the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Monday in Abuja.
The session was briefly paused for the official swearing-in, conducted by the party’s National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.
In his acceptance speech, Damagum expressed gratitude to members of the NEC and the National Working Committee (NWC) for their support and for recognizing his efforts in repositioning the party since he assumed the role in acting capacity in March 2023.
