Councillors numbering 645 elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress on Wednesday protested in Owerri, Imo State, over the controversy trailing the outcome of the party’s governorship primary in the state.
The protesters who blocked the Government House roundabout, causing motorists to take alternative routes owing to the gridlock in parts of the metropolis, urged APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, to announce the governorship candidate of the party in the state.
The demonstrators who expressed displeasure against automatic tickets given to four aspirants from the state by the national working committee of the party, demanded that the result of the October 6 governorship primary which produced Uche Nwosu as the winner should be announced and consequently submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
