The National Assembly Opposition Coalition has raised alarm over what it referred to “as the extremely low level of madness that is fuelled by those who claim to be working for the government in power”.
The Spokesperson of the group, Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere, representing Ideato North/Ideato South in the Federal House of Representatives stated this, while reacting to the recent spate of bombings across the country that has made state secretariat of political parties, including the Action Peoples Party APP, that was hit at about 1 am on Monday, targets of attack.
Ugochinyere, in a press statement captioned, “Mr. President, they will bomb down this democracy. Stop these men now before it’s too late”.
Which he issued and made available to newsmen, said, “Around 2 am today, Monday, I received a call from the National Chairman of one of our country’s rising Opposition Parties, APP Action People’s Party, who told me that he had just narrowly escaped death with the bombing of their new State Party HQ in Rivers State.
Political extremists and terrorists who are desperate to make Rivers State ungovernable bombed the party headquarters, which was just renovated ahead of the Rivers LGA Election, in which the APP is tipped to win by a landslide as the party of popular choice in Rivers State.
As the Spokesperson of the Opposition Coalition CUPP/all elected officers both in parliament and executive Nationwide whose parties belong to the CUPP Alliance, I want to categorically state that the bombing of Opposition parties and their offices is now an extremely low level of madness that has been fueled by those who claim to be working for Ruling govt . This is the 3rd time bombings have allegedly been introduced by these Abuja elements who want to make Rivers ungovernable, and this time, Mr President, you have to take a hard decision, as silence will mean that their devilish action is acceptable.
Let the security agencies immediately fish out the perpetrators of these dastardly acts, which are acts of National terrorism capable of bombing our democracy if not checked. Act now, Mr President, as the history of your action or inaction will be recorded for you, and this growing criminal terrorism action can spiral into other hands and cause bigger harm to our democracy. We warned and raised the alarm when the Pro wike Abuja group attempted to bomb parts of Port Harcourt, but God made the bomb to first rip off the hands of the bomber, and up till now, your security agencies have not prosecuted or fished out the sponsors. Today, we have a strong belief that this new terror act is the handwork of these same elements because they are scared that APP has been chosen by Rivers People in view of the destruction of PDP and APC by these Abuja elements as the party of choice for the upcoming Rivers election hence the need to bring it down.
This is time to act before it’s too late, Mr President”.
