•Party alleges intimidation
By Luminous Jannamike
ABUJA — Armed thugs wielding sticks and other dangerous weapons, yesterday, stormed a special Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention in Abuja, disrupting the formal ratification of former President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections and sending delegates, supporters and journalists fleeing for safety.
The disruption overshadowed what organisers had called a key moment for the party, as delegates gathered to ratify Jonathan’s adoption.
