Some suspected hoodlums loyal to the former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff today laid siege at the PDP national headquarters in readiness for a reprisal attack against opposing group.
The struggle for control of leadership of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) continued on Friday as thugs loyal to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff camped at the gates of the party’s Wadata Plaza headquarters in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.
Armed with sticks and bows and arrows, the thugs vowed that nobody except Mr. Sheriff and his loyalists would be allowed into the premises of the expansive office.
This was in spite of the resolution of the PDP Board of Trustees and governors elected on the platform of the party on Thursday that Senator Ahmed Makafi should take over the leadership of PDP in the interim as the chairman of the National Caretaker Committee.
