According to award-winning journalist, Tolu Ogunlesi, several youths belonging to the All Progressives Congress, APC, disgraced their party on Sunday, February 1, at a political debate in Abuja.
The debate, which was organised by Play Forum Nigeria, was moderated by Ogunlesi, with keynote addresses coming from former Minister of Information, Frank Nweke Jnr. and erstwhile Minister of education, Obiageli Ezekwesili.
Writing on his Twitter page, Ogunlesi wrote: “@APCNigeria youth at PlayForumNG debate have behaved in a very disgraceful manner with their threatening and inciting behavior.”
Youths of the opposition party were initially accused of being behind the stoning of the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Bauchi, till the state governor, Isa Yuguda, came out to allege that the shameful incident was sponsored by the FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed.
Over time, the presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, has enjoined his supporters to shun violence and conduct themselves in an orderly manner.
