Inadequate security responsible for fight at PDP secretariat – Wabara

The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Adolphus Wabara has attributed the brawl at a recent meeting at the party’s headquarters to inadequate security.

Wabara stated this on Wednesday at the BoT meeting held at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.

Recall that on January 29, a fight broke out at the meeting of the BoT over the leadership crisis involving the national secretary position.

Wabara, while speaking at the BoT meeting on Wednesday in Abuja, said the BoT would no longer hold meetings at the party headquarters until security improves.

“While we look ahead with optimism, we must also acknowledge the unfortunate incident that took place during our last board of trustees meeting.

“These incidents were largely due to inadequate security at the party headquarters. As a result and after thorough consideration, the BoT has resolved that until the security situation is effectively addressed, its subsequent meetings will be held outside of the party secretariat.

“The safety of our members and the integrity of our discussions must never be compromised,” he said.

The former senate president urged the PDP leadership to urgently take necessary steps to rectify this situation so that our party secretariat remains a safe and secure place for party affairs.
