A group of protesters under the aegis of Save APC and Democracy Youth Vanguard on Monday stormed the National Secretariat of the APC, demanding the removal of the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
The protesters invaded the secretariat few hours before the commencement of the meeting of the national caucus of the All Progressives Congress.
Leading the protesters, Peter Oyewole, attempted to block the main entrance of the party secretariat, but they were politely turned away by the policemen on duty.
They, however, made their feelings known as they sang and danced in Blantyre Street where the party secretariat is located.
Some of the demands listed on the various placards they were carrying read: “No to non-elective convention;” “APC must support anti-corruption;” and “Audit APC account now.”
On sighting the party chairman’s convoy driving into the secretariat, the protesters raised their voices to high heavens, calling for his sack.
The development is coming weeks after report emerged that 17 Governors were plotting to remove Odigie-Oyegun as the National Chairman of the ruling party.
