Protesters on Thursday blocked the road leading to the Niger State Government House, accusing the All Progressives Congress (APC) of replacing their candidate.
The protesters explained that Jafaru Illiyasu Auna won the APC ticket to contest for the Magama/Mariga/Rijau Federal Constituency but he was replaced with Shehu Saleh, who had contested for Zone C Senatorial ticket in the state.
They alleged that the certificate of return given to Auna had been withdrawn by the National leadership of the APC.
