• Accuses Damagun of colluding with FCT minister
• UK PDP seeks expulsion of Ag national chairman, others

Elder statesman and leader of the Ijaw nation, Edwin Clark, has written another open letter to the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, urging him to purge himself of all malfeasance.

Clark’s letter is the third since Damagum took over leadership of the party. Clark, who spoke on Monday in Abuja where he read the letter, titled, ‘Open letter to the National Chairman of the PDP – Whither Peoples Democratic Party (PDP): To be or not to be,’ accused Damagun of colluding with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State to kill the party.  He urged Danmagun to immediately set up a probe panel to investigate Wike over anti-party activities and expel him from the party to survive.

The letter reads in part: “As Acting National Chairman of your party, you took your party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to court on the defection of the 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, because they did leave the PDP properly, they are still members of the party, even after they had publicly declared that they have defected, and had already been received by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“Your position is antithetical to the position of Section 109. You took your party’s National Executive Council (NEC) to court, an organ you presided over.

“Yet, you still have the presence of mind to remain in office, earning benefits that come with the office.

“From all indications, you are conniving with detractors of PDP to ruin the party, for APC. Allow Nigerians to decide what party they want through the ballot box.

“Stop colluding with Nyesom Wike to destroy the party. A day of reckoning will come for all of man’s activities. I pray that you will not sell your soul and conscience for pecuniary and worldly gains, otherwise you, Wike and your cohorts will be consumed by the Rivers State crisis.

MEANWHILE, the United Kingdom (UK) chapter of the PDP has expressed a loss of confidence in the Acting National Chairman, and the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.

In a statement signed by the President of the chapter, Dr. Anita Jackson, the group demanded the immediate expulsion of Damagum and Anyanwu from the party.
The statement called on the party’s leadership to take immediate and decisive action against the duo, saying they are a “festering wound” on the PDP.

It said: “We demand that Damagum and Anyanwu be expelled from the party forthwith. Their presence is a festering wound on the PDP, and their continued involvement will only lead to further damage and destruction.

“Their interference in legal matters, their plots to derail the party’s progress, and their blatant disregard for the party’s Constitution are all evidence of their treasonous intentions.”
