The Purported resignation of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amb. Umar Damagum, has been attributed to mischief makers.
Damagum, in a statement by his Personal Assistant, Nuru Shehu Jos, said that the law would soon catch up with the sponsors of the fake news.
Describing the the report as the handiwork of mischief makers, Damagum noted that the authors attributed their source of information to Arise News, which is equally false.
“We therefore caution mischief makers to desist forthwith from trading fake news to malign a dedicated and hardworking Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun.
“To set the record straight, the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun has not resigned from his office. The PDP constitution affords the National Chairman a term of 4 years in office, for the first instance.
“We insist that this malicious content against Ambassador Damagun is fake, defamatory, and a height of criminality.
“We therefore call on all members of the Peoples Democratic Party-PDP, elders, stakeholders, all youth and women groups, to disregard the fake news. We assure the sponsors of this evil that soon the law of the land will catch up with them,” the statement said.
