His words, “End of the road for PDP as Damagum, Bature and Anyanwu irredeemably destroyed the party. We will talk about the commercialisation and privatisation of PDP. PDP is now once upon a time.”
Melaye further accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of allegedly favouring the ruling APC.
His outburst followed the accusations by PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives blaming Damagum and Anyanwu for the woes of the party..
The lawmaker had accused the party leaders of plotting to sabotage the PDP by aiding defected former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly with legal backing.
According to them, the duo’s move was an attempt to impeach the Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara from office.
The spokesperson and member of the House of Representatives representing Ideato Federal Constituency, Ikenga Ugochinyere, had listed some events which he said were a calculated attempt by Damagum and Anyanwu to weaken the PDP.
However, responding to the claims of sabotage against him, Damagum warned that nobody could intimidate him into resigning from his position.
He spoke during the inauguration of the PDP National Reconciliation and Disciplinary Committees in Abuja on Thursday.
According to him, those calling for his resignation were merely enhancing his popularity instead of destroying it.
