The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has accused the All
Progressives Congress (APC) members of killing two of its (PDP) members
in two separate incidents in the state.
The PDP, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Saturday alleged
that APC members last Friday shot and killed two members of the PDP,
Hon. Hope George and Friday Mbadee Onura.
However, the APC has described accusations that its members shot and
killed two Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members as wild, unfounded,
spurious and mere hogwash.
According to the statement issued on behalf of the PDP State Chairman,
Felix Obuah, by his Special Adviser, Jerry Needam, “Members of the APC
opened fire on a vehicle which had the member representing Ogu/Bolo in
the House of Representatives, Hon. Bright Tamuno Gogo; Rivers State
House of Assembly Candidate, Datorudimabo Adams and the immediate past
councillor of Okrika Local Government council, Hon Hope George as
occupants.
“Hon. Hope George died, while others, including Hon. Bright Gogo,
sustained various degrees of gunshot wounds and are receiving treatment
in the hospital.” Obuah said the victims were on their way to attend the
governorship rally of the PDP in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of
Rivers State when they were attacked.
According to him, “About same time on Friday January 9 members of Eleme
local government Area chapter of the APC, led by Isaac Obee, shot and
killed PDP stalwart dead, Friday Mbadee Onura while others are in
critical condition in various hospitals following gunshot wounds they
sustained during the attack.”
He accused the state Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, and key
officers of the APC of inciting criminals against members of the PDP.
