After nine days of internal leadership crisis, the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was yesterday re-opened by men of the Nigerian Police. The party had been engulfed in leadership crisis over the national chairman seat.

According to the Guardian, whose reporters visited the secretariat observed that fierce-looking armed policemen who had laid siege to the secretariat to keep people away had disappeared as early at 11:00 a.m.

The Secretary of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Ojo Maduekwe, who arrived the building around 1:10p.m.,‎ said that the trustees actually asked the police to re-open the secretariat.

“We (BoT) requested police to unseal the place so that staff can resume work. We will return tomorrow (today) to meet with the staff of the party,” he added.

On whether the caretaker committee would resume duty immediately, Maduek‎we noted that the Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi-led interim executive would resume office at a later day.

It would be recalled that the party’s convention had nine days ago produced two separate national chairmen in Abuja and Port Harcourt respectively.
