The Action People’s Party, APP, in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, has reportedly been destroyed by a dynamite explosion.

The incident occurred on Monday morning, August 12, 2024, around 1 am.

Reports indicate that some hoodlums threw dynamites into the building housing the secretariat, leading to the destruction of windows, doors and other party properties.

The explosion comes following speculations that the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, plans to defect with his supporters to the APP.

According to a party official who spoke on condition of anonymity, the incident was politically-motivated.

He said, “Yes, I’m a member of the APP. I was informed of the attack at about 3 am 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.”

The spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, claims she was not aware of the incident.
