Scores of demonstrators today clashed with security operatives outside the premises of the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress a few hours before the inauguration of the new zonal officers of the party’s National Working Committee.
The development is coming in the wake of the election of zonal officers of the NWC, which was unveiled by the National Secretary of the ruling party, Ajibola Basiru.
Basiru noted that the election of new officers was in line with the mandate given by the National Executive Committee at the last meeting held at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on August 3.
The move saw the outgoing National Deputy Chairman for North, Abubakar Kyari replaced by Borno party chairman, Ali Dalori while Mary Idele from Edo State was elected to occupy the office of the National Women Leader previously held by Betta Edu
