PDP Moves Convention To Adokiye Amasiemeka Stadium As Police Seals Shark Stadium by suasmablow(m): 9:49am On Aug 17, 2016
Following the early morning seal-up of the Sharks Stadium, venue of today's repeat national convention of the PDP by security agencies, the convention has now been moved to the Adokiye Amasiemeka
stadium, Omagwa, Rivers State in defiant of the earlier police action.
This was agreed just now after an emergency meeting held at the presidential hotel port harcourt.


The much anticipated national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scheduled to hold today (Wednesday), may not take place at its venue, as the Sharks Football Club Stadium, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, when the convention is to hold has been sealed off by security agencies.

Feelers had it late Tuesday night that the convention may be a fruitless effort as some factional members within the party had disclosed to the Nigerian Tribune that the security agencies would take over the venue.

The main gate leading to the state Government House, along the Azikwe Road axis, was relative free as at 8:30 am as there was no heavy security presence, though an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) was seen packed closed to the gate.

The same cannot however, be said of Moscow Road/State Secretariat junction leading to the venue of the convention as there was heavy security presence at the axis.

The heavily armed combined team of MOPOL and regular police was seen conducting stop-and-search on motorists, even as they were prevented from accessing the road leading to the convention ground.

Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, there are indications that the PDP leadership was considering the possibility of shifting the national convention to another venue.

A source told Nigerian Tribune that the various caucuses of the party were in a meeting at the state Government House where a decision would taken on where the convention can possibly be held.

In a related development, three of the PDP national chairmanship contestants, Professor Tunde Adeniran, Chief Bode George and Dr Raymond Dokpesi, would be addressing a press conference on developments around the convention.

A source disclosed that the trio were alleging plans by Governor Nyesom Wike and his Ekiti State counterpart, Ayo Fayose, to skew the outcome of the convention in favour of another contestant from the South-West, Jimi Agbaje.

“The essence of the press conference is to let the world know that there is a grand scheme to rig the chairmanship election in the convention in favour of Agbaje”, the source said.

However, Governors Wike and Fayose had denied the allegation, on Tuesday, saying they would not be a party to any attempt to thwart the democratic process.

Hahaha.. .. From fry pan to fire. The only way out in this Logjam is for the party to make peace with Sheriff. Give him wat he wants and move on cos he seems to be having an upper hand in this crisis. Alternatively maintain status quo and appeal the judgment and wait for the court's verdict. However this legal route will take a long time to settle cos the matter will get up to the Supreme Court..... So out of court settlement will be the best option. The case of Victor Umeh and Chekwas Okorie of Apga easily comes to mind. The matter lingered till Chekwas Okorie got tired of dragging the chairmanship position with Victor Umeh and left the party for him and formed another party.

Even if the Police prevent PDP from using the new venue, we will hold the convention inside Wike's bedroom

PDP is a confused, directionless party!

Anything that can completely destroy the party that destroyed Nigeria is music to my ears.

Sheriff may not be desirable by the party but he can only be removed through appropriate legal procedure.

You can't use and dump him.

Until PDP go and beg Sheriff there will not be peace. The man rescued the Poverty Development Party and get muscled out unceremoniously. Sheriff has PDP in his grasps. Greed and Pride can't save PDP this time.

Mr. Phockery, I thought you are in PH today. Sheriff use his personal money paid salaries, rent and PDP debt and some folks want to muscle him off the room - not gonna happen.

Sheriff wants the Chairman's seat at the convention to elect a new Chairman for the party. Is that too much to ask?

PDP is just playing. Why do PDP like wasting their time as if they no get legal advisers.

If you go to another venue, would you also bundle INEC to your new venue to monitor the convention?

Inec through NICK Darsan, PRO, said the National body is yet to decide on whether o monitor or not, that was when it was at the Sharks stadium ooo. So now, who would monitor it, if INEC does not monitor, PDP would just be entertaining themselves there.

Way forward for PDP is to vacate Okon Abangs order at the appeal or yeild to sheriff's demand.

I even wonder y they had to bring in a PH court on a matter that is even being handled by a coordinate Abuja court, when they should have gone on apeal to vacate that order.

Common sense is not really common.

Why continue to make effort in futility.

PDP is the architect of their own miss fortune.

Blame Wike & Fayose.
