An explosion rocked the secretariat of the Action People’s Party, APP, on Monday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.

It was gathered that the incident occurred in the wee hours of Monday precisely around 1am.

Reports have it that the assailants allegedly threw substances believed to be dynamite into the building housing the secretariat, shattering windows and doors, as well as destroying other property of the party.

Reporters who visited the scene reported that the ceiling and fittings in the building were also destroyed while some party officials were sighted discussing the development.

This came amidst speculations that the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, plans to move with his supporters to the APP following the alleged hijack of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state by his predecessor and estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike.
