<h2>A dramatic scene unfolded at the national secretariat of the <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/apc/">All Progressives Congress</a> (APC) in Abuja when a car suddenly caught fire in front of the party's main entrance, causing panic and a hurried evacuation among those present.</h2>
<p>The red car, bearing the registration number TSE – 423 – AA from Benue State, was en route from the Barcelona Hotels on Blantyre Street in the Wuse 2 area when the incident occurred.</p>
<p>The fire outbreak coincided with a solidarity rally being held by some APC members from the North Central region in support of the party's national chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.</p>
<p>The rally participants were advocating against any premature termination of Ganduje's tenure.</p>
<p>According to Daily Trust, eyewitnesses at the scene reported that workers around the secretariat's entrance gate raised the alarm, shouting "fire, fire," which prompted a swift reaction from onlookers and a scramble for safety.</p>
<p>The situation was quickly brought under control thanks to the prompt intervention of drivers and security operatives stationed at the APC secretariat, who worked together to extinguish the blaze.</p>
<p>Once the fire was successfully put out, the charred vehicle was moved away from the entrance gate and subsequently parked near the Stallion Court, also located on Blantyre Street.</p>
<p>An eyewitness who simply gave his name as Abdullahi, said, <em>“The driver acted fast, if not, it would have been a black Wednesday.”</em></p>
