The drama within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
Rivers State appears to be taking a new dimension.
The latest is the sealing of a filling station in Port
Harcourt reportedly owned by a member of the House of Representatives, Chinyere
Igwe.
Igwe is an ally of former Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Austin Opara, who is a staunch supporter of the presidential
candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Also a hotel said to be owned by Ikenda Chinda, a relative
to Austin Opara, has also been sealed off.
Similarly, a lounge belonging to Ogbonda Jones, who is also
an ally of Opara, has also been sealed up by the police.
No reason was given for the action of police operatives.
But Igwe, while reacting to the development on Friday, said
the action of security agencies on his filling station is “politically
motivated”.
The latest development is coming two weeks after Governor
Nyesom Wike had threatened to seal off hotels and relaxation centers who let
out their facilities for political meeting of those he accused of plotting to
destabilise the state.
While Rivers State Police Command was yet to speak on the
incident, there are indications that the police operatives that carried out the
action came from the Rivers State Government House.
