Economic Hardship: Damagum Mocks Nigerians For ‘Collecting Wrappers and Spaghetti’ to Vote For Tinubu

From Paul Orude Bauchi

Embattled Acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagum, has said that Nigerians are learning the bitter lesson of collecting wrappers and spaghetti to vote incompetent  leaders to office.

Damagun, who has been reportedly suspended by a faction of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP alongside the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, for alleged disloyalty to the party, accused a section of Nigeria’s electorate of being blinded by wrapper and food items inducement to vote for President Bola Tinubu.

Damagum stated this while fielding questions from journalists on Friday during a visit to Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, as part of efforts to address the problems currently bedeviling the PDP

Damagum lamented that the majority of Nigerians continue to experience hardship owing to the policies of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The APC was never prepared for governance so how do you expect any good to come out from them?,” he asked.

“Those that collected spaghetti and wrappers to bring in this government are feeling it more than anybody else and this should be a lesson for all of us that we should look for credibility , those who are actually proven and tested, those who are ready to govern us, not ‘it’s my time’   like they have always said”

Speaking on the visit of Damagum to Bauchi state, Governor Mohammed, who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ forum denied that there was a faction in the PDP.

Governor Mohammed assured that all issues of suspension  and crises in the party would be resolved amicably.
