Scores of demonstrators from Kaduna State stormed the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress on Monday to demand that President Bola Tinubu should add an additional ministerial nominee to the slot of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
Chanting solidarity songs and displaying several banners that read, “Mr President, please respect other APC families in Kaduna State†and “Mr President, give Kaduna people their democratic dividends,†the protesters insisted on having the National Chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, address them.
Addressing journalists at the secretariat, coordinator of Kaduna APC Patriots, Prof Gandu Yusuf, said aside from repaying the votes from the state with two ministerial nominees, the president must also endeavour that only those who genuinely worked for the success of the party should be considered.
This was even as Yusuf stressed the 40 per cent votes the president garnered from Kaduna were from a combined effort of party loyalists and certain chieftains from some opposition parties.
