APC chairman Ezekiel attacked senators and representatives on an oversight mission in Port Harcourt with a bomb in the Rivers.

-

 Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress and the former national publicity secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), has claimed that the recent explosion in Port Harcourt, the state capital of Rivers State, was directed towards the Presidential Hotel, which housed the Senate and Representatives Committee on Privatisation at the time.


The purpose of the legislators' visit to the state was oversight. He denounced plans by former council chairs and stranded lawmakers, who are the political followers of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, to transform the Rivers political playground into a deplorable massacre and mayhem.

On June 25, 2024, an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated close to the Hotel Presidential in the centre of Port Harcourt, the state capital, as part of a demonstration organised by the political allies of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Wike.

Despite the Commissioner of Police's warnings against participating in the parade because of grave security concerns, they started the demonstration.

The APC leader said in a statement released to the media that the protest was merely a ruse to cause chaos in key areas of the state, such as Hotel Presidential, which was housing members of the Senate Committee on Privatisation who were in the state on an oversight mission. He called the protesters "sore losers." This was done in order to give their pointless request for a state of emergency a national flavour.

Using armed force to force their excessive desire on the state and its citizens against the spirit of the law and in defiance of a reasonable order to "cease and desist" from the Police Force, disgruntled politicians are waging war against the state, according to Eze, who described the crass political escapade of the overzealous political jobbers as contrary to every accepted standard of civilised behaviour and conventional conduct of responsible citizens in a democracy.

The leader of the APC voiced concerns that the incident's investigations might be tainted by excessive meddling because there are strong rumours that the Force Headquarters is being pressured to move the main suspect in the explosion to Abuja, where Nyesom Wike, the main instigator and supporter of the political crisis in the Rivers state, is in charge as territorial minister.

In order to remove the administration of Governor Siminialayi Fubara, who has thus far demonstrated extraordinary competence in managing the affairs of government in the state, Eze urged the Inspector General of Police to withstand any pressure to halt the investigation into the incident and expose the masked man of influence stoking armed conflict in the state.

In a similar vein, the APC chief pleaded with the Rivers State Commissioner of Police to invite the demonstrators, especially their leaders, such as Hon. O.K. Chinda, a member of the House of Representatives, Martin Amaewhule, a former speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, George Ariorlu, a former chairman of the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, and others.

According to Eze, the invitation is required to give them a chance to defend their actions, which were taken in flagrant disregard of a strong police warning not to go on their disastrous journey, which ended up becoming a violent scene.

 The performance of the party's governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Senator Dennis Idahosa, in their senatorial district and federal constituency, according to Senator Matthew Urhoghide, Director General of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Campaign Organization, yesterday, would propel the party to victory in the state's September 21 governorship election.  In an interview with reporters in Benin City, Urhoghide further characterized as disparaging remarks made by the opposition that Okpebholo was incapable and incompetent, adding that his ability to put together capable individuals to lead the party to victory in his senatorial election is indicative of his exceptional administrative ability.  In his own words: "Anyone who suggests that our candidate lacks competence is being quite disparaging.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, and other freedom fighters who are incarcerated should be released, according to a request made by Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the general elections of 2023. Obi stated that the IPOB leader should not be kept in custody, especially when he has been freed by national courts. The former governor of Anambra State issued this appeal while addressing reporters on Saturday in Onitsha, Anambra State. He also urged officials to step up their efforts to combat insecurity, warning that if nothing was done, the nation might descend into failure. "I don't see any reason for his continuous detention, especially since the courts have granted him bail," stated Obi, who also addressed other topics. The court is supreme over the government. "We must value and coexist with the rule of law as a complex asset. I would like to take this opportunity to beg the Federal Government to make sure that...
