Following the heated confrontation between Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye over the National Secretary position, security personnel have taken over the secretariat of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja.

New Telegraph reports that the duo disagreement began on Wednesday when both party leaders arrived for a Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting at the PDP headquarters.

Tensions escalated during the closed-door session when an aide to Anyanwu reportedly forced Ude-Okoye out of the meeting, triggering chaos.

The incident quickly escalated into a verbal and physical confrontation between the supporters of both leaders.
