The beleaguered chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, has, afterall, been replaced by the party’s leadership. In his place, a new acting chairman in the person of one of his deputies, Amb Umar Damagun, has emerged.
Damagum, who was the Deputy National Chairman (North), will occupy the seat in an acting capacity pending the determination of the substantive suit restraining Ayu from parading himself as National Chairman.
The State Online recalls that a Benue High Court sitting in Makurdi had, on Monday, ordered Ayu to step aside following a suit filed by his
