Recall that Ali Modu Sheriff, on Wednesday, February 22, said the PDP national secretariat would re-open before Friday, February 24.
Sheriff said this when he received some PDP leaders from South-West geopolitical zone who paid him a visit in his office in Abuja.
The PDP national secretariat has been under lock since its national convention on May 20, 2016.
The police said the action was to avoid breakdown of law and order as a result of the leadership tussle between Sheriff-led and Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee.
The PDP has been thrown into a lingering leadership crisis after the party lost the 2015 presidential election to the APC.
The party has two separate factions laying claim to the position of its national chairman.
One of the factional leader of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, last week secured a victory at the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt, which declared him the authentic chairman.
However, the other faction led by Ahmed Makarfi, have rejected the judgment and have indicated their intention to head to the Supreme Court.
