The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has held its caucus meeting at the Bauchi governor’s lodge in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Tuesday’s meeting came after the party adjourned on Monday following its failure to exhaust all the items on its agenda, including issues around the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

After this, the party will hold its NEC meeting. Although the PDP fixed it for noon, it was later moved to 2 pm at the party’s secretariat annex – the Legacy House.

Meanwhile, the PDP has condemned the Federal Capital Territory Development Authority (FCTDA) for sealing off its national secretariat at Wadata Plaza on Monday.

Briefing the press after a caucus meeting, Damagum called the action of the FCTA irresponsible and vowed that the party would challenge it.

Officials of the FCTA, on Monday, sealed off Wadata Plaza, the building housing the National Secretariat of the PDP in Abuja, over unpaid ground and tenancy rent.
