The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike-backed National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has commenced the renovation of Wadata Plaza, the party’s national secretariat.
Journalists who monitored developments at the PDP national secretariat at Zone 5 on Monday observed that renovation work was still ongoing ahead of workers’ resumption.
The renovation followed the unsealing of the party secretariat by the police, granting access to the Wike-backed faction.
The barricades around the main office building had been removed. There were still a few police vehicles stationed around the premises, with personnel manning the facility.
A party member, who did not want his identity to be disclosed, told NAN that the renovation works started on Sunday.
“The staff members of the party’s national secretariat are yet to resume, but the renovation works started yesterday (Sunday).
“The ongoing renovation works include painting, changing air conditioners, locks and keys to the offices, as well as their allocation to the new National Working Committee (NWC) members.
“However, I think the challenge now is that some of the staff members loyal to the Tanimu Turaki–led NWC may find it difficult to come and resume here,” the party member said.
At the time of writing the report, none of the party officials had reported to the secretariat.
Recall that the faction’s National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, had on Saturday in Abuja announced the reopening of the PDP national secretariat and the presidential campaign office, Legacy House, Maitama.
