The national publicity secretary ofthe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olisa Metuh, on Tuesday slipped from his seat when members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party were about to begin a meeting.

Punch reported that members of the NWC who were seated inside the hall were Sheriff, National Legal Adviser, Mr. Victor Kwon; National Woman Leader, Dr. Kema Chikwe; National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo and the National Treasurer, Bala Buhari.
Metuh had attempted to sit beside Chikwe when his chair slipped and he landed on the floor.
Security operatives attached to Sheriff and those that stood at the entrance of the hall, rushed to his rescue, but it was too late as he was already on the floor.
