By CHARLES IWUOHA

This is coming barely 24 hours the National Working Committee of the party dissolved and constituted a new state caretaker committee to pilot the affairs of party in the wake of the defection of the State Governor, Engr.Dave Umahi, to the federal-ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).
WhenNews Expressvisited the party secretariat around 12 noon, heavy security was noticed within the premises to forestall any break of law and order.
