CEOAFRICA gathered that the meeting of the Baraje-led People Democratic Party, in Abuja has for the second time in one week been disrupted by Police on Sunday.

The report states that the caucus had converged on the Kano State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro District of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for a meeting, but was prevented from doing so by policemen, who stormed the venue to dislodge them.

Among the governors dislodged were Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Babangida Aliyu (Niger) while two member among the G7, Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto) and Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) were listed to be absent in the meeting.

A member, who was present at the meeting, is quoted to have reported that the armed policemen stormed the Kano State Governor’s Lodge and ordered those in attendance, including the five governors, to leave the premises.

It would be recalled that the group was last Sunday stopped from meeting at the Sokoto State Governor’s Lodge, forcing them to shift the venue to the Kano State Governor’s Lodge.

Some groups, including the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, were alleged to have condemned the action of the police, which they accused of working in concert with the Federal Government to deny the governors the freedom of association as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.

Meanwhile, an Abuja High court had earlier declared the new PDP illegal, mandating the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize the National Working Committee, NWC, led by Bamanga Tukur, which splinter group has since indicated its plan to appeal the judgment.
