Protesters Storm APC Secretariat


Angry members of the APC from the six area councils in the Federal Capital Territory stormed the party’s national secretariat on Wednesday to protest against the direct primary mode imposed on them.

The protesters demanded the reversal of the direct primary mode imposed on the FCT by the party’s NWC.

Some of the protesters displayed placards with inscriptions such as, ‘We Want Indirect Primary,’ ‘Oshiomhole Stay Clear of FCT Primary,’ and ‘Oshiomhole Destroying APC.’

On learning that there were no party executives to receive them, the crowd became unruly.

In the melee that ensued, the protesters tore down a giant billboard which had the portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari and Oshiomhole after barricading access to the party secretariat and chasing away workers and security operatives on duty.

The protesters also accused the party leadership of trying to impose candidates on them.

The Commissioner of Police in charge of the FCT, Bala Ciroma led a team of police reinforcements to calm frayed nerves.
