All access roads to the “A-Class” event centre in Abuja, venue of the proposed special convention for the ratification of former president Goodluck Jonathan as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by members of the party loyal to Tanimu Turaki, have been barricaded by the police.
The police used several of their vans to completely block the two access roads leading off from the Wuse and Maitama axis, into the premises of the event centre
The blockage deprived access to both PDP members loyal to Turaki and other road users who have nothing to do with the planned convention
The development followed Tuesday’s alleged warning to hotels and event centres by the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, not to allow illegal political parties or organisations to use their resources for the sake of security in the FCT.
