Shocking! Rodents and Weeds Take Over PDP National Secretariat

The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party is taking a negative toll on the the party as its secretariat has been taken over by rodents and weeds.

 

This might come as a big shock to many. But, according to authentic report, rodents and weeds have taken over the national secretariat of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party.

 

In a report by Punch, it was gathered that the secretariat located at Wuse Zone 5 in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja shows that the three gates leading to the secretariat were still locked.

 

The report further stated that unlike before when trucks, which were occupied by riot and regular policemen were stationed in the front of and besides the building, only a few security personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps were seen at the complex.

 

One of the few officers has this to say: “You can see that we have not opened the road in front of the building to vehicles and movement is also restricted. We are under instruction not to allow anyone access to the building and its environment.

“Thus, either policemen are here or not does not matter. What is important is that the building is secure and we are not going to allow anyone enter it until we get a superior order, asking us to vacate.”

 

Many have said the controversy rocking the party must have caused the latest development. The party has been left in vicious fight between two factions over the leadership positions as factional National Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff and the National Caretaker Committee of the party led by Ahmed Makarfi fight each other for control of the party.

 

It was also observed that the paint of the once-shining walls was peeling off. Rodents and weeds have now taken over the place feasting on some of the  books inside the buildings.

 

Reacting to the condition of the national secretariat of the party, Sheriff said he was not in a hurry to move into it, adding that the courts would be allowed to make pronouncements on its leadership.

 

A member of the Board of Trustees of the party, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has, however, attributed the travails of the party to God’s anger.

 

He said members of the party needed to go back to God and ask for forgiveness of their sins, saying that the botched national convention of the party in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on August 17, was a saving grace.

 

He said two governors of the party, one from the South-South and another from the South-West, were bent on destroying it through imposition of a national chairman.

 

Babatope, a former Transport Minister, said, “They want to destroy the elders in the party. If we have had the convention, they would have imposed a young man who had yet to spend two years in the party as the national chairman under the pretence of generational change.

“The BoT has said that it will not be part of that nonsense. This is a man who joined the party in December 2014, and apart from that, he must have a waiver that he didn’t have. They are lucky the convention didn’t hold, because the party would have been destroyed. We will wait until God intervenes and before He does that, we need to embark on prayers.

“God will never subscribe to any illegality and that’s why He didn’t allow us to have the convention.”
