The All Progressives Congress rally in Rivers State was on Thursday disrupted following the twin explosions which rocked the Rumu-Woji venue in the Mile One axis of Port Harcourt.
“Each time the APC wants to make use of the place, they will deny us in the guise of orders 21 and 22. I see this as a challenge by virtue of my position as a chief in the community and also the APC Chairman in PHALGA. I am not asking for privileges. I am only saying, ‘give us our due right being enjoyed by the PDP.’
However, the spokesperson for the state Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said it was not an explosion but a fracas between community folks. “It was that altercation within the community that led to the fight and two persons were injured. We don’t know if there were other political parties involved in the fight. But the CP has mandated the Deputy Commissioner, State CID to investigate the incident”, she stated.Meanwhile, the state APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, has described the incident as another black day for democracy in the state.
During the shooting incident in Edo, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Marcus Onobun and other PDP leaders were evacuated to safety, while others ran for dear lives.
