Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirants, who were disqualified from participating in last weekend state assemblies primaries yesterday stormed the party’s national secretariat in Abuja with coffin in protest. The aspirants, who came with party thugs, carrying empty coffins, blocked the entrance to Wadata Plaza.
National Woman Leader, Kema Chikwe and National Vice Chairman, South-South of the party, Cairo Ojougboh, were turned back by the aspirants. Some of them, who spoke with newsmen accused the PDP National Working Committee and the state chapter of the party of conniving with former Minister of State for Education and governorship aspirant, Nyesom Wike of frustrating their aspirations.
A state Assembly aspirant, Davis Saloka, from Eleme constituency, said they were at the PDP secretariat to kick against the “open robbery perpetrated against them by the party.”
