Bomb Explosion Hits Rivers APC Headquarters Amid Fubara Defection Rumors

Reports suggest that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara may be considering leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Action People’s Party (APP). This speculation comes in the wake of a bombing at the APP secretariat in Port Harcourt early Monday morning…… CONTINUE READING 

Uche Nnadi, the National Chairman of the APP, hinted at the potential defection while addressing the media in Port Harcourt. He condemned the bombing of the APP office in the GRA area as a treasonous and terrorist act, carried out by criminal elements. The attack occurred shortly after party members left a late-night meeting, and Nnadi expressed relief that no one was harmed.

Nnadi linked the bombing to ongoing political unrest in the state and the upcoming local government elections scheduled for October 5, 2024, where the APP plans to make a significant impact. He accused political opponents of trying to seize control of the state’s resources and resorting to violence to disrupt the elections.

“This act of terrorism is part of a larger plot to thwart the local government elections and undermine the governor’s policies,” Nnadi said. He called on President Muhammadu Buhari and security agencies to target the perpetrators and ensure they face justice. Nnadi also urged APP members and supporters to remain steadfast and continue supporting the party despite the attack.

Speculation about Fubara’s potential defection is fueled by reports that his predecessor and former political ally, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, has taken control of the PDP structure in the state. This alleged takeover may be prompting Fubara to consider moving to the APP with his supporters.

When asked about the rumors, Joseph Johnson, the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, acknowledged that while Fubara had recently expressed dissatisfaction with the PDP, he could not confirm any definitive plans regarding the governor’s next steps. Johnson promised to provide a clearer position by the following day.
