Protesters shut down PDP headquarters over National secretary tussle
Some aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have disrupted activities at the national headquarters in Abuja over the position of the National Secretary.
The protest erupted following the declaration of Sunday Ude-Okoye as the authentic National Secretary by the Court of Appeal.
Opposing the stand of the court, the protesters took over the Wadata Plaza in Wuse Zone 5 with placards carrying words like “No vacancy in the National Secretary’s office” and “Senator Sam Anyanwu remains the National Secretary.”
The atmosphere is charged, with security personnel struggling to maintain order.
Earlier, security was heightened at the premises, to avoid any disruption of activities. A police lorry has been stationed outside the main gate, and personnel are working alongside the PDP’s regular security team to search workers and visitors before granting them entry into the building.
