PDP Reacts As ‘APC Thugs’ Invade Edo LG Secretariat

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Akoko-Edo Local Government has condemned the invasion of the council secretariat in Igarra on December 27, 2024, by individuals they believe to be affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement issued by the party’s secretary, Dennis Akande, the PDP described the incident as an alarming display of lawlessness.

Akande claimed that a large group of thugs stormed the secretariat, forcing the staff to flee and effectively paralyzing operations at the office of the council chairman, Hon. Barr Tajudeen Alade Suleman.

He noted that the chairman was away in Benin City on official duties at the time.

The party scribe said, “They forced their way into the Chairman’s office after damaging the two access doors, ransacked the office, carted away official documents, valuables and thereafter padlocked the door with another key in their possession.

“The party chairman Hon. Kayode Ogunnubi while condemning the action said it is completely alien to the Nigerian constitution, crude and barbaric and called on the APC leadership to call their supporters to order.

“The identities of the hoodlums are already known by the security agencies, they should be fished out to face the full weight of the law. They should be told that the council chairman’s office is a public one and not a party secretariat.”

The statement also urged PDP members to stay calm in the face of provocation and allow the security agencies to carry out their investigation.
