A trending video has shown the moment a local chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State was disallowed from leaving the campaign area after he allegedly refused to release the funds the party gave him for the Enugu rally.
The presidential campaign rally was held in the state on Wednesday, drawing a mammoth gathering of party stalwarts and youths.
A video now circulating shows some of the youths at the gathering harassing the campaign organizer in a Toyota Camry (Muscle) for not releasing the money APC gave him to be given to the boys at the rally.
A voice in the background of the recording said: “Can you see such an embarrassment and disgrace? This is a disgrace. They gave you money to give to people and you want to run away. What a disgrace.”
Young men can be seen swarming around the vehicle, with some putting planks on the way and some standing directly in front of the car to prevent it from proceeding.
You can see the video below.
Meanwhile, many party chieftains who were at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu to welcome the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu failed to attend the rally.
Notable among them were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, former governor of the state, Sullivan Chime, and former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Eugene Odo.
Mr Chime told journalists they were at the airport to receive the presidential candidate but could not appear at the rally because of the internal issue they had with the APC Chairperson in Enugu State, Ugochukwu Agballah.
Mr Chime said nothing has been done about their grievances after they staged a peaceful protest at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
The former governor said “someone not known by the party” emerged as the party chairman and since then, the party had been in disarray.
