As the #EndBadGovernance protest continues in some parts of the country on Tuesday, a large number of persons suspected to be hoodlums have attacked the headquarters of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Rivers State.
DAILY POST gathered that the hoodlums invaded the facility located along Port Harcourt-Aba Road during the protest, vandalised the entrance gate and canopies providing shelter for security officers, and pulled down the party’s giant billboard.
The Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, confirmed this while briefing journalists in Port Harcourt.
Okocha alleged that the hoodlums were sponsored by those who are out to silence the party in the state, stating that the alleged sponsors have been identified.
“Today the issue is the vandalization of the APC Secretariat situated at Port Harcourt-Aba Express Road in Port Harcourt by hoodlums who were sponsored by a source we have identified.
“We are not scared to name the source because the situation has become very political. Of course, why is it that it’s only APC that was isolated for destruction?
“But millions of those attacks will not stop us in APC from speaking for the people of Rivers State. It will not stop us from being diametrically opposed to a government that is clueless. It can’t stop us.
“When the Rivers State House of Assembly was pulled down, it did not stop the assembly from sitting,” he said.
