Armed security operatives were on thursday morning, seen blocking the entrance of the state secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Abia located at Finbars Road Umuahia.

According to Nwankwo, the party is observing a day of rest as party official and workers were asked to stay at home and rest due to accumulates stress of the past weeks of activities.
He added that activities will fully resume at the secretariat the following day.
