There was another drama at the Eagles Square, the venue of All Progressives Congress national convention in Sunday after the Saturday clash between rival groups from Delta State.

This time around, it was between factions from Imo State.

Deputy governor of the state, Prince Eze Madumere and the anti-Okorocha faction Chairman, Hilary Eke were removed from their seats by the faction loyal to the state governor, Rochas Okorocha.

The group started the trouble when President Muhammadu Buhari was delivering his speech.

They stormed the venue and asked those loyal ti Madumere, to vacate the seats. The order was resisted, leading to fisticuffs as the private security guard of the governor called “Okorocha Good Governance ” descended on members of the group.

Hillary Eke, chairman of the anti-Okorocha faction, was forcefully thrown out of his seat alongside other members of the executives.

After attacking members of the deputy governor’s faction, they moved straight to where Eke and Madumere were and ejected them after initial resistance.
