Drama Unfolds: PDP Caucus Scrambles Behind Closed Doors After FCTA Locks Down Headquarters

A high-level caucus meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently taking place at the Bauchi State Government Lodge in Abuja.

Originally slated for 7 p.m., the meeting was rescheduled following the sealing of the party’s National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) over unpaid ground rent and tenancy fees.

Earlier reports confirmed that FCTA officials stormed the premises on Monday and instructed the security personnel on site to contact those responsible, leading to the abrupt closure of the facility. The incident disrupted plans for the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting, which was expected to precede the caucus gathering.

The ongoing session, being held behind closed doors, features key figures including serving governors, National Assembly members, BOT members, as well as former presidents and vice presidents of the party.

Insiders who spoke with Channels TV revealed that the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, is a central focus of the discussions. It was also gathered that the recent closure of the PDP Secretariat is expected to feature prominently on the agenda.
