The Factional Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State of Chief Tony Okocha who Heads the Caretaker Committee of the Party has been bombed.

Didactic Information Hut reports that the incident happened in the early hours of today, Saturday – October 5th, 2024.

The Secretariat which is located along Aba Road in Port Harcourt was reportedly heavily attacked with explosives by suspected armed thugs which the Okocha-led APC has accused as working with the Rivers State Government.

Chief Tony Okocha is a Supporter of the FCT Minister and He is behind the controversial Court order against today’s local government election in Rivers State.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that Chief Okocha and his faction of the APC had earlier in the week joined the PDP faction loyal to the FCT Minister to stage a protest in Port Harcourt against today’s local government election in Rivers State.

The Explosives reportedly destroyed the gate of the secretariat and the doors and other properties.

Speaking on the incident, the chairman of the faction of APC in Rivers State, Tony Okocha said:

“About 3:20am some gun-trotting young men with their explosives and all that, came here and dropped the first explosive, maybe because the one they dropped here did not detonate, they came back the second time to burn the structure – look at the security house is gone.

“Behind me you will see that there was also an attempt, our people came and we were able to quench the fire” .

Mr Okocha further alleged that the incident was politically motivated and blamed the governor, Siminalayi Fubara, whom he said had earlier declared war over the local government election.

“Is APC secretariat here any voting unit? There is no voting unit here. So, it was deliberate to see how they can annihilate us, it is deliberate to see how they can embarrass us, it is deliberate to see how they can decimate us,” Okocha said.

Meanwhile, reports from Rivers State indicate that the local government election is going on peacefully wlbyt without the presence of Officers of the Nigeria Police.
