Crsis Rocks PDP as Police get involved at National secretariat!
The crisis rocking the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in case regards to a disagreement between  the national leadership and
staff over plans to reduce the staff strength, their salaries and
allowances by 50%, took a new turn as men of the Nigeria Police
blocked the gate of the National Secretariat.
In the wee hours of yesterday, following directives from the
leadership of the party, a truck load of Policemen blocked the
gate and prevented staff from entering the  secretariat.
However, this action was met with a stiff resistance from the
angry PDP staff.
The policemen, who were deployed at strategic ends of the PDP
secretariat, refused to
speak with the aggrieved staff that came to work as early as
7.30 am.
As part of moves to end the crisis, management of PDP who are
directors, deputy directors and assistant directors,  had on
Monday held a closed door marathon meeting with the warring
staff where the National Director of Administration, Alhaji
Gurama Bawa, presided and had pleaded with the aggrieved
staff members to remain calm so that the management could
figure out how to reach a favourable compromise.
Members of staff agreed to this suggestion which was why
they went to work, but they were prevented from going in.
It took the intervention of PDP Acting Chairman, Board of
Trustees, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, who made a call to the
leadership of the party that the staff be allowed into the
premises, the Police immediately left the gate.
