The unidentified members were reportedly beaten up by some delegates from Abia and Ebonyi states in the presence of policemen.
According to reports, one of the men was beaten up because he was an ‘Ngige boy’ and was stripped naked beside the party secretariat along Emeka Anyaoku Street, Area 11 Abuja.
Sources claimed that the misunderstanding began when delegates were denied accreditation by the Convention Committee chaired by Alhaji Aliyu Wammako with Senator Chris Ngige as secretary.
”We were reliably informed that Ngige and Okorocha have instructed that our Chairman who is Fabian Okonkwo and the rest of us from Abia State should not be accredited,” Uche Emeka from Abia State fumed.
He further lamented that “we have been calling to inquire and we also have it on good authority that they are directly responsible for this. Our state chairman has been making calls to find out what is wrong, but no answer has been provided”.
