This may not have been the best of time for the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, as some concerned members of the party took to
streets on Monday to protest the continuous defection of their members.
The protest stemmed from the number of party stalwarts that
have dumped the party in the last four months.
The protesting APC members led by Okunwague Marvis carring
different placards were at the secretariat of the party at Airport Road, Benin
to demand the presence of Reverend Matthew Egharevba who had been out of
political activities at Oredo and the state.

The Secretary of the party, Osaro Idah who addressed the
angry protesters declined camera coverage.
He advised them to sheathe their swords as top echelons of
the party will look into their demands.
They later marched to government house where they were
received by chief of Staff to Edo State Government, Patrick Obahiagbon.
He said the government has set up a committee to look into
the matter, adding that Matthew Egharevba is a member of the party.
