“We therefore caution mischief makers to desist forthwith from trading fake news to malign a dedicated and hardworking Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun.

Setting the record straight, the Personal Assistant said “the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun has not resigned from his office. The PDP constitution affords the National Chairman a term of 4 years in office, for the first instance.

“We insist that this malicious content against Ambassador Damagun is fake, defamatory, and a height of criminality.

“We therefore call on all members of the Peoples Democratic Party-PDP, elders, stakeholders, all youth and women groups, to disregard the fake news.

“We assure the sponsors of this evil that soon the law of the land will catch up with them.”
