Some aggrieved youth from the federal capital territory (FCT )
broke into the national secretariat of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja
on Wednesday, chasing away staff and security operatives.
The protesters accused Adams
Oshiomhole, national chairman of the party, of imposing candidates on them and
interfering with the primary election.
Wielding placards with
inscriptions such as: “Oshiomhole Steer Clear of FCT Primary”; “We Want
Indirect Primary”; “Leadership is Not Activism, Oshiomhole”, among others, the protesters demanded the
immediate resignation of the national chairman and reversal of his decision on
direct primaries.
The protesters barricaded the
Blantyre Street leading to the secretariat and took over the control of the
gate after overwhelming security operatives manning the gate.
The mob did not spare the billboard which has the photograph
of Oshiomhole and President Muhammadu Buhari
mounted in front of the building as they tore it into shred.
Usman Karshi, spokesman of the
group, said the protesters were out to protest injustice and “imposition of the
mode of election on the FCT and original inhabitants of the territory”.
