APC Candidate Narrowly Escapes Death In Rivers

The All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly Candidate for Etche Constituency in Rivers State, Charles Anyanwu, has narrowly escaped death.

Naija News learnt that arsonists attacked the APC Chieftain on Friday, February 24, at his residence in Port Harcourt.

This comes a few days after he survived an attack when some unidentified gunmen shot at his convoy while he was at a campaign rally in Etche, his local government area.

According to DailyTrust, the arsonists invaded Anyanwu’s residence and ignited an improvised substance suspected to be dynamites.

However, there was no loss of life during the incident but the candidate’s buildings and property were destroyed.

Confirming the incident, the Rivers State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe Koko, said the matter was being investigated.

Atiku Exposes Alleged APC Plot To Scuttle Election

Meanwhile, the Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has raised the alarm over plans by some elements in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to foment violence in a few states in order to force the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone Saturday’s election.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the former Vice President added that the alternative plan was to hold a staggered election whereby elections would not be held simultaneously across the country.

The PDP presidential candidate warned that failure to hold elections on the same day across the country would be an invitation to rigging, stressing that the violence in Kano was a prelude to this plan.
