Opposing groups of protesters besieged the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday to press home their demands in the ongoing crisis bedeviling the party.
First, anti-Ali Sheriff protesters carrying placards with inscriptions such as “Sheriff must go”, “Sheriff leave our party alone” and “Agent of APC stop killing our party” stormed the Wadata Plaza building housing the secretariat in several mini buses.
The protesters who are mostly youths chanted anti-Sheriff songs demanding that the ousted Chairman should give up his hold on the party Secretariat.
The protesters took a short break during which time pro-Sheriff protesters also came in singing and dancing insisting that Sheriff remains the party’s national chairman.
Some of the protesters who wore “T” shirts embossed with Sheriff’s portrait were also singing songs of their own. Some carried placards with the inscription “Sheriff MUST stay” and “Sheriff is our man” while dancing to traditional Hausa music.
A handful of policemen and officers of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps watched from the sidelines.
