Protest at APC National Secretariat over replacement of party NWC

Countless number of police personnel are currently laying siege at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat in Abuja, ahead of the swearing in of newly appointed members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

Already the battle-ready police officers strategically positioned along the entrances of Blantyre Street,housing the headquarters of the party,where hundreds of the protesters from Cross River State defiantly chanting protest songs.

The group are contesting against the nomination of Mary Alile Idele from Edo State as National Women Leader (South South Zone) whom they claimed is the candidate of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole,instead of Dr Stella Odey-Ekpo, the candidate of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Beta Edu.

Recall that the ruling party had equally settled for Duro Meseko (Kogi State) as the new Deputy National Publicity Secretary (North Central Zone) to replace Yakubu Ajaka, as allegedly recommended by James Faleke against the candidate recommended by Governor Bello.
