Party stakeholders and delegates escaped attack on Saturday as the Enugu State Congress of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ended in a fiasco.

DAILY POST reports that acreditation of delegates were midway when some thugs stormed the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, venue of the congress and chased party members away.

Our correspondent reports that members of the congress committee and INEC officials would have been mobbed by the suspected thugs. It took the prompt intervention of security agencies before they were rescued and taken out of the chaotic venue.

Prominent members of the party, including, former Senate President, Chief Ken Nnamani, ex Governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime, national vice chairman of the party, Mr. Emma Eneukwu, the Director General of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, the State’s party chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, a party chieftain, Emperor Baewood Ibe and other members ran for their lives as the violence erupted.

Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama was also there at the time of the incident.

The violence, which was accompanied by sporadic gunshots by security operatives, occurred few minutes after the minister arrived the venue.

Signal that all may not end well was visible in the morning as two warring groups in the party stormed the venue.

Unlike the local government and ward congresses, which the groups held at different venues, it was a different thing this time as they both stormed the stadium early morning with their supporters.

As of the time of filling this report, the camp loyal to Onyeama returned to the same venue to hold their parallel congress.
