Following the continued interplay of forces which has culminated in the decision to hold its national convention on February 26, the Buhari House national secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC on Wednesday witnessed increased security presence.
Policemen in several Hilux vans were stationed in strategic locations along the Blantyre Street of the secretariat in what party sources said is to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
“This is more like a routine. It is to inspire confidence in those who transact businesses with us, including those of you in the media who come here (secretariat) everyday.
“As you know, we also work based on intels. There will be several meetings on the composition of sub-committees for the national convention and there is need to ensure that our property, staff and visitors are guaranteed foolproof security”, said a party official.
Meanwhile, ahead of the national convention, the South-south Emerging Leaders’ Forum SELF has warned leaders of the party not to elect some former governors and individuals in the race who have been indicted for some financial crimes by anti-corruption agencies.
