A group of youths stormed the APC
National Secretariat on Tuesday to protest what they claim was the overbearing
influence of the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on its
affairs.
The party’s youths, who came under
the aegis of the APC Democratic Youth Frontiers, held several banners with
anti-Tinubu posters.
Some of them read, ‘We are united in
APC; Tinubu can’t separate us’; ‘Tinubu is not God’; ‘Greed is not democracy’;
‘No room for an emperor’.
Leader of the protesters, Mr.
Lookman Salaudeen, said the APC national leader should be told to either toe
the party line or be shown the way out.
He said, “We call on Asiwaju Ahmed
Bola Tinubu to either leave the APC, (or) curtail his greed (and) toe the line
and exhibit the kind of loyalty needed for party cohesion whether from ordinary
members or national leaders.
“Nigeria is bigger than Lagos State,
where you control affairs like a god; whose words are sacred and must be obeyed
at all times.”
The group leader said he and members
of the group were compelled to stage the protest when it became apparent that
attacks on Buhari’s appointees and other party leaders were coming from within.
