HOT: Drama As Deputy Governor Is Thrown Out Of His Seat At APC Convention

The was a mild drama earlier today at the All
Progressives Congress (APC) national
convention in Abuja.
According to information gathered, trouble
started after the group loyal to Imo state
governor Rochas Okorocha, stormed the
pavilion meant for Imo delegates.
They asked those loyal to Eze Madumere, the
deputy governor, to vacate the seats. The
order was resisted, leading to fisticuffs as the
private security guard of the governor called
“Okorocha Good Governance ” descended on
members of the group.
Hillary Eke, chairman of the anti-Okorocha
faction, was forcefully thrown out of his seat
alongside other members of the executives.
After attacking members of the deputy
governor’s faction, they moved straight to
where Hillary Eke, chairman of the anti-
Okorocha faction was and ejected him after
initial resistance.
The leadership of the party acknowledged Eke
as chairman of Imo chairman, an action that
pitched Okorocha against John Oyegun, the
immediate past national chairman of the party.
The aggrieved APC members engaged in battle
as President Muhammadu Buhari was reading
his speech at the convention.
