Aides of delegates at the ongoing national conference, particularly drivers, yesterday protested at the entrance of Andrew Otutu Obaseki hall, over what they termed ill- treatment, but were stopped from entering by men of the Department of State Service, DSS.
According to the aides, who were led by Egwuata Remigius, they were deprived of allowances, welfare ranging from food to accommodation adding that while the delegates whom they drive sleep in hotels, they sleep in their cars.
Their placards read, “many drivers sleep in cars at hotels and parks, have we lost our moral compass?
“Justice Kutigi please do justice to our matter. We are citizens of this great country, we are in this together. Take care of us please . There is God O! Mama please intercede for your children ooo. Our mothers at the conference, please speak for your Children.
“We are degree holders as aides and drivers; we are no pushover. Obasanjo paid aides and drivers at 2005 Political Conference whitter 2014 National Conference.”
The protesting aides were however stopped by the SSS led by Emmanuel Emordi who asked them to leave with their placards.
