New PDP Abuja office shut again The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headed by Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has suffered another setback as its 2ndoffice located at the Adamawa State Governor’s Lodge in the highbrow Asokoro area of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration has been sealed off. This is the second time the new party’s office would be sealed off after the September 9 seal off of the first secretariat of the breakaway faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headed by Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje faction located on Number 4, Oyi Crescent, off Ibrahim Babangida Boulevard, Maitama. A statement explaining the seal off issued by the Press Secretary to the FCT Minister, Nosike Ogbuenyi said, “The entire Governor’s Lodges in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja are enshrined in the Abuja Master Plan to be for residential purposes but not for political party secretariat as Adamawa State Governor’s Lodge is currently being used. “The Governor’s Lodge as it is today is being used as a political party office thereby negating the spirit of urban planning and causing untold hardship on the residents dwelling in that area of the city, as well as inflicting undue pressure on the infrastructure and services therein, contrary to the principles of the Abuja Master Plan.” “It may be noted that any change of Land Use is usually accompanied with over-stretching of facilities planned for certain number of people; apart from also causing high volume of traffic with its attendant problems. “The Administration wishes to assure that all actions by a person or group of persons that inflict pains on the residents whether directly or indirectly would not be condoned as government is meant to serve and protect the rights of all. The FCDA will continue to protect the Abuja environment and the sanctity of the Abuja Master Plan in line with the dreams of its founding fathers; believing that such plans were meant to be obeyed and adhered to.”
