Yayari Mohammed has been appointed as the acting national chairman of a faction of the Peoples’ Democratic Party. 

This follows the suspension of Kamaldeen Ajibade, PDP’s national legal adviser, and Debo Ologunagba, national spokesperson of the party, by the national working committee (NWC) led by Umar Damagum, acting national chair of the PDP, for alleged anti-party activities.

In a statement signed by Ologunagba, a faction of the NWC announced the suspension of Damagum and Sam Anyanwu, national secretary of the PDP, citing anti-party activities.

Ologunagba, while speaking for the group, said Mohammed’s appointment is in line with the PDP’s amended constitution of 2017 and takes immediate effect.

Meanwhile, a federal high court in Abuja has restrained the NEC and BoT of the PDP from removing Damagum as the acting national chair. In a judgment delivered via Zoom on Friday, Peter Lifu, the presiding judge, ordered that aside Damagum, no other person must be recognised as the PDP acting national chair until the party’s convention scheduled for December 2025.
