On Monday, hundreds of youths and women forced their way into the APC secretariat, vowing to remain for seven days until the SWC is dissolved.

Separately, an angry Dekeri marched into APC national headquarters demanding his certificate of return as winner, prompting a closed-door meeting with Chairman Ganduje.
The SWC’s Acting Chairman Jarret Tenebe called for calm, saying only the national leadership can declare the authentic winner.
