APC : party members staged protest at the national secretariat Abuja

Members of the Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) staged a protest at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja yesterday to protest the congresses held in the state. The protesting APC members accused former governor, Prince Abubakar Audu, of manipulating the congresses of the party to install his cronies. One of the leaders of the protesting APC members, Goodman Aku, stated that the former governor is trying to pocket the party in Kogi State while sidelining other members of the party. He accused the former governor of hobnobbing with the PDP while portraying himself as a member of the APC which he said will not work well for the party. Also speaking, an elder of the party in the state, Dr. Yakubu Ogwulanwo said, the congresses purportedly conducted in the state were heavily flawed to favour some selected people that are loyal to Prince Audu. But in a swift reaction, Prince Abubakar Audu who spoke to our reporter on telephone dismissed the group’s allegations. Referring to the group as a hired crowd, he said they were sponsored by some politicians in the state to discredit him and destabilise the party in the state.
