The founding National Secretary of the Alliance for Democracy, Udenta O. Udenta, has blamed the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the Nigerian Police.
Naijaonpoint reports that security personnel on Tuesday had fired gunshots and deployed teargas to disperse the crowd in the party’s secretariat in the Federal Capital Territory.
This was due to a clash between two rival factions of the party.
Speaking on the development during an appearance on Arise Television on Thursday, he asserted that the Nigeria Police enabled the factional occupation of the PDP Secretariat.
“The new chairman of the party, Tanimu Turaki SAN’s son, went to the police to complain that some people planned to take over the secretariat. The police assured him nothing of such would happen.
“Yet they allowed the Anyanwu faction to enter at 5:00 am while the police watched. The police are complicit because if they had shut the place down from the start, Nigeria would not have witnessed that spectacle.
“They fired over 200 canisters of tear gas on sitting governors, former governors and party leaders. You know what happened to Chiroma in Kano years ago, he didn’t survive tear gas. This was under the supervision of a certain DCP,” he said.
