Protesters Storm APC National Secretariat, Demand Indirect Primaries

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]ngry members of the All Progressives Congress from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory stormed the party’s National Secretariat on Wednesday to protest the direct mode of primary imposed on them.

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

Some of the protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as: “We Want Indirect Primary,” ‘Oshiomhole Stay Clear of FCT Primary,” “Oshiomhole Destroying APC” and “Oshiomhole, Leadership is Not Activism.”

On learning that there were no party executives to receive them, the crowd became anxious as they tried to force their way into the secretariat.

In the melee which ensued, the irate youths tore down a giant billboard which had the portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari and the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, after barricading the road to the party secretariat and chasing away the staff and a handful of 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.
