Some foreign delegates have expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment they have received at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention, which is currently taking place at Eagles Square in Abuja.
A foreign delegate from Canada stated in a video circulated by correspondent that they arrived at the convention venue as early as 7 a.m. but were denied admission until 1 p.m.
He claimed that they were asked to wait in line but were beaten, and that some of them had their phones stolen.
“They sent us e-mail that we should come by 7’o clock in the morning. We were there at 7am. Later, they sent another e-mail that we should come at 9am. 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.
Saying, I came all the way from Canada and this is what we are getting”.
