Kano Thugs Disrupt PDP North West Congress In Kaduna

The PDP Northwest Zonal Congress held in Kaduna on Saturday was  abruptly disrupted by thugs

The Congress which took place at the International Trade Fair Complex in the Kaduna State capital was graced by PDP chieftains like Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and a former National Caretaker Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

The congress was disrupted by thugs midway into the voting process by delegates from the seven states of the northwest region to elect their zonal chairman and other executive members.

The Chairman of the Media Sub-Committee of the congress, Abdulrahman Usman, told the press that the fracas was caused by delegates from Kano State over who would emerge as the PDP chairman in the zone.

He explained that as soon as the exercise was disrupted, congress was put on hold to avoid further escalation of the crisis.

Usman, however, said that the leaders of the party would meet to address all pending issues before fixing a new date for the zonal congress.
