While the Acting National Chairman of the Anyanwu faction of the NWC assumed office at the PDP National Headquarters, the embattled National Chairman, Umar Damagun and other NWC members loyal to him, were conspicuously not in sight.
Recall that Damagun and some NWC members had announced the suspension of the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, the National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature and other principal officers of the party.
In a swift reaction, Anyanwu faction of the PDP National Working Committee met to suspend the National Chairman, Umar Damagun, the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba and four other principal officers of the party.
