FORMER National Vice Chairman for PDP North Central, Abdulrahman Mohammed on Monday November 3, 2025 resumed his role as the party’s acting National Chairman.
Earlier, Mohammed and his supporters gathered at the FCT office of the PDP, where he addressed the crowd, confirming that he would be taking over as acting National Chairman.
Mohammed was declared acting national chairman by the Samuel Anyanwu-led National Working Committee (NWC) following the suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Umar Damagun, and National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
The crisis in the opposition party escalated over the weekend as the national chairman, Umar Damagun, along with some members of the National Working Committee (NWC), announced the suspension of the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, National Organising Secretary Umar Bature, and other principal officers
The Suspended National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu allegedly Mobilized Thugs to PDP Secretariat, Harasses Staff and Journalists.
The suspended National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu reportedly mobilized a group of armed thugs to the PDP National Secretariat at Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
This reckless and unlawful action, occurring just hours after his one-month suspension for alleged anti-party activities, has led to the harassment and intimidation of party staff, security personnel, and journalists covering the unfolding crisis.
Eyewitness accounts captured by on-site reporters show the mob, numbering over 50 individuals and reportedly loyal to Anyanwu’s faction, forcefully breaching perimeter barriers, vandalizing office equipment, and physically assaulting PDP administrative staff members.
Several journalists from leading media outlets, were shoved, threatened with violence, and had their recording devices seized in a clear bid to suppress coverage of the incident.
As of the time of this release, security forces present at the premises of the Party office did nothing to prevent the attacks on the secretariat and staffers of the secretariat.
