Umar Damagum, the embattled Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the ongoing hardship and hunger in the country.
Speaking after a close-door meeting with stakeholders of the PDP on Friday, Damagum mocked Nigerians who supported the President Bola Tinubu-led government, saying they are now enduring the consequences of trading their votes for items like spaghetti and wrappers.
He said: “The APC was never ready to govern, so what good could possibly come from them?.
“Those who accepted spaghetti and wrappers to bring in this government are suffering the most, and this should serve as a lesson.

“We must seek credible, proven, and tested leaders who are genuinely prepared to govern, not those who simply say, ‘Emilokan’”
This comes after a faction of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) suspended Damagum and the party’s national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
The factional NWC also suspended the party’s national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba and national legal adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade.
However, the Abuja Federal High Court restrained the National Executive Committee (NEC), and PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT), from removing Damagum as the party’s acting national chairman.
The court ordered that no other person must be recognised as PDP national chairman other than Damagum until the national convention of the party, scheduled for December next year
