PDP Support Group Hails Damagum’s Confirmation as National Chairman

The Arewa PDP Support Group, headquartered in Kaduna, has applauded the confirmation of Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum as the substantive National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Hon. Desmond Minakaro, the group described Damagum’s confirmation as a decisive step toward repositioning the PDP for future electoral success. It praised the National Executive Committee (NEC) for what it called a “timely and strategic” resolution taken in the overall interest of the party and Nigeria’s democracy.

According to the group, Damagum’s leadership presents a fresh opportunity for the PDP to reinforce internal cohesion and strengthen its grassroots base. It urged party members, particularly in the North, to rally around the new chairman and give him the needed support.

“This is the time for loyalty and collective effort,” the group stressed. “The PDP remains the most credible platform to rescue Nigeria, but victory can only be achieved if members remain united and true to the party’s ideals.”

The group further called on party leaders to sanction any individual or faction working to destabilize the PDP through divisive actions or inciting statements.

Extending felicitations beyond Damagum, the group congratulated the entire PDP family and Nigerians who still believe in the party’s vision of credible leadership. It said the chairman’s confirmation signals the PDP’s readiness to bounce back stronger ahead of the 2027 elections.

Reaffirming its commitment, the Arewa PDP Support Group pledged to continue mobilizing grassroots support across the North while partnering with stakeholders to ensure the party reclaims power nationwide.
