A significant security presence has been recorded at Wadata Plaza, the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja, ahead of the party’s scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting today.
According to Channels Television, dozens of armed policemen were deployed around the area, particularly Dalaba Street, which leads directly to the PDP secretariat. Officers were seen cordoning off access routes, effectively preventing the planned Expanded Caucus Meeting from taking place.
A party official, who spoke anonymously, suggested that the deployment was a deliberate move to halt internal party proceedings amidst increasing internal tensions. The reason for the NEC meeting’s controversy remains unclear, but the presence of security forces has heightened speculation about possible factional disputes within the party.
As of the time of reporting, there has been no official statement from the Nigeria Police Force or the PDP national leadership regarding the purpose of the security deployment or whether the NEC meeting will proceed.
More updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
