Monday, August 12, 2024 -Explosion has rocked the Secretariat of the Action People’s Party in Rivers State.
According to eyewitnesses, a detonated
dynamite went off and the loud sound of the explosion was heard around 1am on
Monday, August 12.
Several valuable properties of the
opposition party were destroyed, including tables, chairs, and files, with
window glasses and doors shattered, walls heavily cracked, and floors damaged.
The development may not be
unconnected with the leadership crisis in the state.
This comes amidst speculations that
the Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, has concluded plans to move with his
supporters to the APP following the alleged hijack of the People’s Democratic
Party in the state by his predecessor and the Minister of Federal Capital
Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike.
A member of the party who gave his
name simply as Chimene confirmed the news to journalists: "Yes, I’m a
member of the APP. I was informed of the attack about 3am today.
“This is politically motivated and
there is no two ways about it. They know that the APP is a fast growing
political party in the state. We call on the police to investigate this and
arrest the culprits.” he said
