On Tuesday, a tense situation unfolded at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Abuja, where Governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, along with Tanimu Turaki, the factional National Chairman of the PDP, were tear-gassed by police while attempting to enter the Wadata House. This incident occurred as they were met by a faction led by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who were controlling access to the venue.
As the assembly of party supporters grew increasingly unruly, law enforcement intervened, deploying tear gas to disperse the crowd. This altercation reflects ongoing tensions within the PDP, highlighting the party’s internal divisions and the challenges it faces in maintaining unity amid political strife.
