Tension Erupts at PDP Secretariat in Abuja, Police Fire Tear Gas Amid Factional Clashes
Tensions rose at the PDP Secretariat in Abuja as rival factions within the party clashed, resulting in police intervention with tear gas and gunshots fired. The conflict stemmed from the recent re-election of the National Working Committee in Oyo State, leading to a parallel meeting organized by a counter faction loyal to Minister Nyesom Wike.
The arrival of key figures like Samuel Anyanwu and Taminu Turaki further fueled the chaos, with security personnel denying entry to some members. The situation escalated as the factions attempted to hold separate meetings, disrupting media coverage and causing confusion.
Security was tightened around the Secretariat as the possibility of further confrontations remained high.
