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
