Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, and factional PDP National Chairman Tanimu Turaki were caught in tear gas fired by police operatives on Tuesday as a crowd of supporters gathered at the party’s National Secretariat in Wadata, Abuja.
The trio was denied access to the secretariat by a faction led by Senator Samuel Anyanwu, which had stationed members at the main gate. As tensions escalated and the gathering became rowdy, police deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd.
