The police have sealed off the Sharks Stadium, venue of the Peoples Democratic Party convention, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking during a programme on Channels Television titled, ‘Sunrise Daily’,
the Nigerian Police Public Relations Officer, Donald Awunah from the
Force headquarters has dsiclosed that it has sealed off the Sharks
Stadium in Port Harcourt, the venue of the national convention of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
According to a report by Punch Newspaper,
the police spokesman said that due to the tension surrounding the
convention and the conflicting court rulings, the police thought it best
to seal off the venue.

“The warring parties need to follow due process to end their
crisis through the courts and as a law enforcement agency what do you
do? You ensure that there is a superior court order. It is not about
taking sides.
“If in the next one hour or two, we get another court order, we
will take action. We are there for every Nigerian but when you are the
first responder, you have to take action, you have to be proactive,” he said.
It was reported online and social media earlier today that some
policemen stormed the venue of the convention around 4:00am on
Wednesday.
Confirming the new development, The Peoples Democratic Party's
direction of new media, Deji Adeyanju, took to his social media to blast
the President Buhari-led federal government and the opposition party
for being responsible.
"Cannot believe that the @PdpNigeria crisis has taken a new
dimension. President BUHARI orders Military/Police to block Convention
venue.
"Interesting. The desperation to crush @PdpNigeria by the Federal Government is laughable.
"I can confirm to Nigerians that the @APCNigeria led Federal
Government have blocked all roads leading to our convention venue in PH.
"The @APCNigeria Federal Government should leave us to handle
our internal party issues instead of now jumping in the ring. SMH," Deji said.
