The House of Representatives member for Ideato North/South, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, has said the bombing of Action People’s Party Secretariat in Rivers State was carried out with the support of some politicians in Abuja.
Imo Ugochinyere said President Bola Tinubu has to intervene and stop further attacks on democracy in the state.
Ugochinyere stated that the National Chairman of APP, Uchenna Nnadi and other workers in the party’s headquarters narrowly escaped death.
Ugochinyere alleged that the bombing was orchestrated by politicians working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, to make Rivers State ungovernable.
In a statement on Monday, the spokesman of Opposition Coalition said, “Political extremists and terrorists who are desperate to make Rivers State ungovernable bombed the party headquarters, which was just renovated ahead of the Rivers LGA Election, in which the APP is tipped to win by a landslide as the party of popular choice in Rivers State.
“I want to categorically state that the bombing of Opposition parties and their offices is now an extremely low level of madness that has been fueled by those who claim to be working for ruling government.
“This is the 3rd time bombings have allegedly been introduced by these Abuja elements who want to make Rivers ungovernable, and this time, Mr President, you have to take a hard decision, as silence will mean that their devilish action is acceptable.”
Ugochinyere called on security agencies to arrest and prosecute perpetrators behind the bombing. He added that the bombing of APP secretariat could lead to more acts of criminality in the country.
“Let the security agencies immediately fish out the perpetrators of these dastardly acts, which are acts of National terrorism capable of bombing our democracy if not checked.
“Act now, Mr President, as the history of your action or inaction will be recorded for you, and this growing criminal terrorism action can spiral into other hands and cause bigger harm to our democracy.
“We warned and raised the alarm when the Pro Wike Abuja group attempted to bomb parts of Port Harcourt, but God made the bomb to first rip off the hands of the bomber, and up till now, your security agencies have not prosecuted or fished out the sponsors.
“Today, we have a strong belief that this new terror act is the handwork of these same elements because they are scared that APP has been chosen by Rivers People in view of the destruction of PDP and APC by these Abuja elements as the party of choice for the upcoming Rivers election hence the need to bring it down,” he added.
