How We Were Beaten At APC Convention, With Our Phones Carted Away – Foreign Delegates Shares Experience

The ongoing national convention of Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), is already generating furore as some delegates from foreign countries have lamented the ill-treatment they received at the event currently taking place at Eagles Square, Abuja.

A foreign delegate from Canada on his part said they arrived at the venue of the convention as early as 7 am but we're not allowed admittance as at 1 pm, but they were later asked to be in the queue but were beaten while some of them have their phones stolen.

In his words:

 

“They sent us an e-mail that we should come by 7’o clock in the morning. We were there at 7 am. Later, they sent another e-mail that we should come at 9 am. They gave us a tag, took us on a bus. We went round all this place for almost one hour. They couldn’t let us in”.

 

“They finally told us to form a line. We got on the line. They started beating us, stealing our phones. As I am talking to you, we are still standing outside. Just look at what they are doing to foreign delegates. This is very unacceptable and the government has to know this. I came all the way from Canada and this is what we are getting”.
