APC Governorship Primary: Thugs Invade A'Ibom
As the APC Governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress, APC, gears up, hundreds of thugs have invaded Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital and other local government areas.
Some newsmen who monitored the primary, revealed that hundreds of thugs clad with bullet proof vests, allegedly working for one of the Governorship aspirants, were seen driving roughly, intimidating both perceived opponents of their master and journalists.
Further findings revealed the thugs may be allegedly working for the MD, Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Obong Nsima Ekere who is also gunning for Governorship ticket of the party.
At the State Secretariat of the APC, the thugs were seen moving freely around the party office, blocking the entrance gate of the party.
As at 4pm where materials for the party's primary were distributed to different local government areas of the state, the thugs were equally attached to virtually all the chapters.
Speaking to journalists, one of the party stalwarts who did not want his name mentioned for fear of being sanction by the party leadership, expressed disappointment over the turn of event.
“We were instructed by the party leadership to be here before 9am, somebody like me, I had to leave the church service to be here.
“I am afraid whether this primary will be successful following series of intimidation and harassment many of us have been subjected to,” he said.
Efforts to speak with the state APC publicity secretary, Mr. Nkereuwem Nyongekere were abortive as he did not picked calls when reporters called to hear his position on the matter.
