Tension in PDP: Armed Police Take Over Party Secretariat

Armed police officers have taken control of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Abuja as tensions rise ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for Monday.

According to a party official who spoke to reporters, the deployment of security personnel was aimed at halting the proposed Expanded Caucus Meeting of the NEC.

Initially, some PDP staff were allowed entry into the Wadata Plaza premises, but were later asked to vacate the building. Journalists covering the event were also ordered to leave the area.

By the time of this report, officers had cordoned off Dalaba Street, the main access road leading to the PDP Secretariat, further escalating the atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding the meeting.
