Help, They Want To Hijack Our Convention, this is the cry of some young bloods within the fold of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
They have carried the battle cry to highest quarters, the office of the President, Mohammadu Buhari urging him to allow the identified perpetrators to have their way.
The youths are pointing accusing fingers on some governors of the party, saying they had perfected their plans for the party’s upcoming National Convention.
The youths made their concerns known using the platform, APC Youth Development and Solidarity Forum.
According to them, the target is to single handedly pick persons for some sensitive posts.
The group did not want to sit down and moan, but actually organised a protest at the National Assembly.
Their president, Danelsi Momoh, warned at the protest that the move if not nipped in the bid could tear the party apart, hindering it from electoral victory at the polls.
“We are consequently pained with the action of some governors in our party who are desperately trying to undermine the democratic process by attempting to deceive you and other party members into endorsing a fraudulent list of candidates at the party’s national convention.

“They want to singlehandedly pick the chairman of our party and other candidates for leadership position during the convention.
“We call on the president as the father of the party and in line with your stance on transparency and accountability, to reject the governors and their plans and equally consult other stakeholders like the forum of ex-governors in the party to make an input.
