On Monday, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) made a conspicuous appearance at the Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State.
These security personnel were seen positioning their vehicles in the vicinity of the opposition party’s headquarters.
Kennedy Peretei, the spokesperson for the Ondo PDP, officially confirmed the presence of the security operatives.
He disclosed that their primary objective appeared to be the prevention of a planned peaceful protest scheduled by the party’s youth wing.
Peretei further clarified that the protest aimed to address the ongoing absence of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu from the State since April 2023, with the intent of seeking information about his whereabouts.
Notably, this heightened security presence hindered the entry of staff into the PDP secretariat.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) sounded an alarm on Sunday, alleging potential machinations by the PDP and certain APC figures to instigate unrest within the state.
The APC statement emphasized that Governor Akeredolu would soon return to the State, asserting that he has continued to carry out his official duties even while away.
