The protesters, who carried placards and chanted anti-Bello slogans, accused the former governor of allegedly violating the party’s constitutional processes and bringing the ruling party into disrepute.

Hundreds of aggrieved citizens from Kogi Central on Wednesday stormed the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja to protest the participation of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, in the recently concluded APC senatorial primaries in Kogi Central.

The protesters, who carried placards and chanted anti-Bello slogans, accused the former governor of allegedly violating the party’s constitutional processes and bringing the ruling party into disrepute.

The demonstrators also called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC and President Bola Tinubu not to allow Bello emerge as the party’s senatorial candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on behalf of the group, the spokesperson, Mr. Musa Adabara, accused Bello of attempting to destroy the legacies and principles of the APC through what he described as disregard for due process.
