The All Progressives Congress APC has taken over PDP Secretariat located at 142( a) along Muritala Mohammed Highway in Calabar. 

The development comes just days after the governor, Prof Ben Ayade dumped the PDP for APC. 

The property was on Saturday morning cordoned off by heavily armed security operatives while workers painted the building into All Progressive Congress colours. 

In a swift reaction, the landlord of the property Lawrence Asuquo raised alarm over an attempt by the All Progressives Congress in the state to take over his property adding that PDP remains his tenant.

In a statement signed by Estate Administrator, Lawrence affirmed that PDP remains his tenant as he has no dealing with the APC.

According to him: “My attention has been drawn to the fact that the property situated at 42A Murtala Muhammad Highway, Calabar which PDP holds as the tenant is presently being painted with APC colours.

“On behalf of the Estate of E. A Lawrence and myself as the administrator, I hereby state that PDP,s tenancy with the family is still subsisting and they remain my legal and recognised tenant.

“APC has never approached me for any such agreement so I am surprised to know of this development”,” the landlord said.
