Police operatives have ended their blockade of the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP located in Wadata Plaza at Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
The police took over Wadata Plaza 9 days ago, following reports of threat to public peace and breakdown of law and order arising from intra party crisis afflicting the PDP.
Sources around the area said that the fierce looking policemen who had kept vigil at the secretariat over the past week vacated the place around 11 am on Tuesday.
The Secretary of PDP Board of Trustees, BoT, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, who arrived the building around 1:00p.m., told news hounds that the trustees actually requested the police to re-open the secretariat.
“We requested police to unseal the place so that staff can resume work. We will return tomorrow to meet with the staff of the party,” he said.
Although a handful of policemen were still positioned at the gate, staff of the party and visitors who were denied entry in the heat of the crisis however gained entrance after undergoing security checks.
The PDP had been embroiled in a crisis over its National Chairmanship position.
The crisis led to the staging of two parallel conventions in Abuja and Port Harcourt and the subsequent emergence of two National Chairmen.
