A fight broke out among Abia
delegates at the special convention of
the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Abuja on Wednesday

The mini convention is being held to
amend parts of the party’s
constitution, particularly to allow for
the choice of a consensus presidential
candidate for the 2015 election.

The violence at the Old Parade Ground
was precipitated by two factions of
delegates from Abia state.

According to one of the delegates, the
bone of contention is the APC Abia

state chapter chairmanship position.
“There are two factions of the APC in
Abia state. One faction is led by
Fabian Okonkwo while the other is led
by Donatus Nwakpa,” he said.

“Those loyal to Nwakpa are disputing
the chairmanship of Okonkwo, who is
the current chairman based on the
APC Abia state April congress.

“The violence you see here is by these
two factions from APC Abia state
chapter.

“The problem is that the national
leadership of the party has refused to
step into the matter and resolve it.”
