It was learned that some bandits believed to be political thugs detonated the substance believed to be a dynamite into the building housing the secretariat and that the accompanying explosion shattered the windows and doors, as well destroying other property of the party.

The explosion also damaged the ceiling and fittings in the building leaving the leadership and members of the party in panic.

This was coming amidst speculations that the Governor State, 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 said: “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.”
