We the members of the PDP Youth Alliance for Good Governance are using this moment to celebrate the suspension of Ilya Damagun and his secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
We all woke up just as every other Nigerian and every other great lover of PDP to see that finally, Damagun and Anyawu, the two co-travellers in the destruction of the PDP have finally been sent packing from the helm of affairs of the PDP.
At first, the downward movement of the PDP was doubted till we saw how the downfall of PDP rather became clearly imminent, PDP’s going down began to wear a human face quickly, the faces of the undertakers of the party was revealed and lo and behold it was the faces of Damagun and Anyanwu.
Therefore, we make bold to say that their suspension was to Nigerians an act of freedom. Nigerians all over the world are in celebration mood right now.
Two people who have held PDP to ransom have been sent packing. Now, that is what we call an inglorious exit and yet again and moreso it was necessary to save PDP from closing shop as a political party.
We condemn the anti-party activities of Damagun, in the strongest possible terms. We thank the National Publicity Secretary, Olugbana and National leigal Adviser, Barr. Kamaldeen SAN for rising to the occasion and saving the party from closing shop.
Damagun’s reign oversaw some of the worst form of open anti-party activities and pampering offenders with kids gloves as against the constitution of our party which frowns strongly at anti-party regardless of who is involved.
We urge the new leadership of the PDP to immediately review the shoddy congresses that was conducted across 18 States, with a view to make sure more proper congresses are called for in such States immediately to return the party to the people and not to continually let the party be in the grip of a few greedy individuals who are hell-bent on ensuring the PDP no longer exists as a political party any more but rather a proverbial Fuji House of commotion and a mere SPV for party membership to those who need party membership for strategic hire to the continued perpetuation of the APC in power.
