The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed its total support for the Amb. Umar Damagun-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
The party stated that the report in some quarters that the party in the State has endorsed a new Acting Chairman is totally false and baseless.
The party said such false report can only be the handiwork of impersonators and fifth columnists working in sync with enemies of the party to distort the peace, tranquility, and evident progress of Imo PDP in recent months.
The party stated categorically that at no time did the Hon. Austin Nwachukwu-led State Working Committee (SWC) and the State Executive Committee (SEC), Stakeholders, or any other organ of the party, endorse any other person as the Acting National Chairman of the PDP.

They noted that Imo PDP is aware of the subsisting and binding judgment of a Federal High Court barring any unlawful suspension or removal of Amb. Damagun other than through a national convention.
The party noted that the verdict aligns with the party’s constitution stressing that articles 42, 47, and 67 of the constitution are clear on that.
The party further stated that its position is the same as it concerns the National Secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, whose leadership and administrative prowess have helped to lift PDP in Imo State and Nigeria.
The Imo state chapter of the party expressed confidence in the ability of the Damagun-led national leadership to steer the party to greater heights and navigate through a successful national congress by December next year that will meet the wishes of members of the party and, indeed, all well-meaning Nigerians.
