“The way Samuel Ortom was driven out of the PDP national secretariat by supporters of the party was shameful. Na so e don reach? TYOTOM!”
The internal crisis within the PDP has deepened in recent days, following a violent confrontation between rival factions over control of the party’s national secretariat.
