The newly elected Benue State Working Committee members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were stranded at the party secretariat along Otukpo road on Friday.
Naija News reports that when the officials arrived at the secretariat to resume their duties, they found it locked.
Recall that immediate past Governor Samuel Ortom had said three weeks ago that he had offered one of his buildings in an upscale area of Makurdi to the party through his media aide Terbar Akasu in accordance with the management committee. I want it. Members of Congress are demanding that they be evicted from the party secretariat.
However, Mead Bartholomew, media aide to former Governor Gabriel Suswam, dismissed claims that the management committee was evicted, saying there was no evidence to suggest such an event had taken place. Rejected.
Panch said when the new party leadership arrived at the secretariat to receive a handover memo from the management committee on Friday, they found the facility locked.
All efforts by newly elected PDP Chairman Ezekiel Adaji to find out the reason for the closure of the secretariat have failed.
Mr Adazi reportedly contacted the interim committee secretary by phone and was informed that the committee had also just learned that the secretariat was locked.
Adazi told reporters that he would consult with stakeholders to determine next steps.
It would be recalled that the party held a state assembly in which former Otukpo/Oymini Federal Constituency Member of Parliament, Mr. Ezekiel Adaji, was elected along with other state working committee members.
