PROTEST AT PDP HEADQUARTERS OVER TUSSLE FOR NATIONAL SECRETARY POSITION
Protest has erupted at the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja over the position of the National Secretary.
Protesters loyal to Senator Sam Anyanwu, who was removed as the party’s scribe by the Court of Appeal have stormed the party’s secretariat.
The protesters were opposing the anticipated resumption of Sunday Ude-Okoye, who was declared the authentic National Secretary by the Court of Appeal.
The protesters gathered at the rear gate of the PDP’s Wadata Plaza headquarters in Wuse Zone 5, chanted slogans such as “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.
Security has been 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.
