The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party has directed members of the National Working Committee to revert to status amid the raging division in the party.
The directive to the NWC members by the BoT followed the sacking and counter-sacking among members late on Thursday.
While a faction sacked the National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, another sacked the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN).
But in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, the Chairman of the BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, expressed concern over the ongoing internal crisis and urged all parties involved to de-escalate tensions for the sake of party unity.
