Men purportedly representing the Umuahia Capital Development Authority (UCDA) have shut the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Abia State Secretariat located at 45 Finbers Road, Umuahia.
On Wednesday, the officials locked the Secretariat.
The development was not explained.
However, a sign on the building instructed the residents to go to the UCDA office for more information, which is located at 51 Ogurube Layout, Umuahia.
In the meantime, the PDP chapter in Abia State has demanded that Aaron Uzodike be sworn in as a member of the party, representing the Aba North constituency in Abia State.
In a statement signed by Vice Chairman/Acting Publicity Secretary Abraham Amah, the party expressed concern that the Aba North constituency still does not have a representative in the Abia State House of Assembly, even though the Appeal Court had ruled that Aaron Uzodike had won the March 18 election and had removed Destiny Nwagwu from the LP.
Amah referred to the state of affairs as impunity.
It is well known that the Certificate of Return, which was granted to Hon. Aaron Uzodike by the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, a few days following the court ruling, is the only document that the Speaker needs to swear in a new member of the House of Assembly in order to recognize him as the duly elected representative of the good people of Aba North.
“Why won’t the Speaker swear him in?” Amah enquired.
