Kabiru Turaki on Tuesday assumed office as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). His resumption came after a standoff at the party’s Wadata Secretariat in Abuja.
“For the past seven hours, Nigerians are living witnesses to the struggle we’ve been engaged in with those renegade members of our party that were expelled at our national convention in Ibadan,” Turaki said while addressing pressmen.
“They came here with armed thugs that we did predict would disrupt our meetings, but God so kind, we were able to contain them effectively.”
He said, “Now, we have driven them out of the secretariat, and, as you can see, I have entered my office; I have assumed leadership as the elected chairman”.
