If this is not a publicity stunt like that Kogi senator always pulls then it is a bad sign that African politics is still a do or die affair.

In SUMMARY
NIGERIA is not going to get better any time soon.
It’s a Promise, that I can assure.

Don’t be shocked to hear that they (APC ) masterminded such.
He didn’t react from the first GUNSHOT, why ..? Despite closer..
Not even the 2nd ....

For those who didn't watch the video lemme summarize the video. Tonye Cole was addressing some issues in the town hall meeting with some elders when the gunshots started. Initially, he was forming James bond by pretending he didn't hear the gunshots but as it got louder, everyone started begging him to lie down flat on his stomach
From the video, his own political thugs were armed with pistols and were returning fire. My question is, why would Tonye Cole be using thugs for security when his party is in charge of the security apparatus in the state? He could have used army, Sars and police. Why thugs in black suit?

Mumu don crack brain

Rivers State.

I am so scared of that state!

It is either that it is only the negative news of crime and hate that always find me or that I am just unnecessarily afraid

They heard automatic gunshots and initially continued the meeting because it is NORMAL for gunshots to be fired abi?

There is indeed problems all over the nation.

Why will any sane person be calm and look through the windows when gunshots are being fired outside?

Warped logic

lesbiconverter:
When you have an occultist as a governor

Wike and Cole

You would never find those devilish fans of the killer Party here condemning this act by their demonic Party hierarchy. Had this happened to a pdp candidate, the thread would have been coasting over seven pages right now.

Wetin concern Buhari for state election?

Has there ever been peaceful election in Rivers State Buhari or not? Hate Will not kill you

Austindark:
2019 is still far and the action film already started.

I wish buhari can be bold enough like gej and tell Nigerians the his elections must not cost any human blood.

See that man crawling like a snake. Lol.
1.19mins to1.22 mins in the video.

This is not about PARTY.
Both PARTIES are useless.
They have nothing to offer.
In fact both Names of those parties should be exiled alongside their sponsors and beneficiaries.
We should look beyond those eediots and see who can salvage this mayhem in Nigeria.

NIGERIA is not getting better any time soon.
We need to WAKE UP

Rivers is like the Wild Wild West
Sounds of gumshots are normal

The guy is too soft my sister, he's not a match to wike @ all.

Is the soft and hard man lifestyle the yardstick to govern?isn't it suppose to be whoever has the people driven policies?
This is why Nigeria will continue to struggle since we've handed power to people who are blood thirsty.

Thd calmness of the people in the room when the rain of gunfire started is unbelievable. Rivers is such a useless state full of criminals and thugs (apologies to the sane Rivers people). How can one state just continue to carry political violence on their head like it's their birthright??... Other states leave the violence till elections, Rivers does theirs all through the 4 years.

@POLITICSNGR

A Bloodbath was averted on Friday, November 16, 2018, at Old Bakana as gunmen alleged to be sponsored by a PDP serving Commissioner in Nyesom Wike’s government from the area opened heavy gunfire on Pastor Tonye Cole and his team as they were carrying out ward-to-ward consultation in the community.

PoliticsNGR gathered that in a statement signed and made available to journalists by Chief Chidi Lloyd, DG, Tonye Cole Campaign Organisation explained that, “On arrival at the community and as is usual with the team, Tonye Cole and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on the delegation had gone to pay a courtesy call on the traditional head of the community prior to commencement of the exercise when heavy gunfire erupted from all directions of the community.”

According to the statement, “Pastor Tonye Cole immediately showed courage and leadership by ordering his team members to remain calm indoors while the security detachment attached to the team were allowed to repel the advancing armed attackers.”

The statement reads: “It took a while before the marauding gunmen were repelled by the security men and the area secured. Subsequently, Pastor Cole directed that the exercise must go on at the designated arena after which the team departed to Bakana Town to continue with the exercise.

“The Tonye Cole Campaign Organisation and APC vehemently condemn the dastardly act of today reminiscent of what was carried out in 2015 against the APC and its governorship candidate in Okrika and other similar incidents carried out by PDP and their gunmen across Rivers State.

“We recall that just yesterday, instead of the PDP to tackle its internal crisis that has snowballed into open confrontation between them in Ikwerre Local Government, found it convenient to blame APC members. We alerted the world that the PDP leaders were merely pointing at the APC to cover up their internal turmoil. We also emphasised the fact that it was a ploy to prepare the grounds for them to commence another round of bloody attacks on APC members in the State. In just about 24 hours our fears have manifested.

“We would like to reiterate that the governorship candidate of our party, Pastor Tonye Cole, is a God-fearing gentleman whose only driving force to lead Rivers State is hinged on his conviction that every aspect of Rivers society is broken and needs urgent mending. He believes that if our youths are given jobs they will not make themselves available for such criminal enterprise as was exhibited today.

“Let us serve notice that forces of darkness behind today’s violence and their allies will never be able to deter, intimidate or stop Pastor Tonye Cole and his supporters from the task of providing the enabling environment to mend and pull our society out of backwardness, poverty and from the abyss of bad governance.

“We call on the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Director of State Security Service and other security agencies to thoroughly and diligently investigate the incident of today and all such incidents with a view to bringing to justice those directly and indirectly behind them.”

Again, APC have started their 2015 media staged managed antics to gain public sympathy.
Rivers people are wiser now.

Its simple, it maybe oit of place but its not impossible to fanthom or do. its all excuse to deploy and use heavy security apparatus to influence voting on election day. Especially in states where PDP are dominant as there have been doing in all elections in the last few years.

I can never under estimate the actions of APC and their despiration to hold on power. They will do anything. Some may say i thinling out of proportion but i know what am saying. If you observe the video, i wouldnt say the town hall was under attack though there was gun shot. If the town hall was under attack, we would hear the souds gun pellets hit walls. All these ones they are saying bend diwn sir, one person would be hit right there. Those attacking cant come from one side when the townhall had big windows that they could easily access. The sound of gun being heard where gunshots into the air...
The guys with him are not police force members, where did they get thier guns.

neway, they have invited them, DSS and Police and army too. We look forward to 50, 000 security men very soon.

Tonye Cole don turn pastor? Which church?

1001 reasons why i like Dangote..

he is too smart and wise when it comes to politics.

he is for everybody APC,PDP,APGA etc but he will never come out and campaign for any of them.

thats what you call a smart business man AGIP---> Any Government In Power.

Bye

A successful billionaire business man like Tamunotonye! What is he finding in this dirty politics of a something. He will learn his lesson last last, he can ask the likes of Jimoh Ibrahim, Ifeanyi Ubah and co how politics has treated them!

Should we forever leave leave politics to the likes of wicked Wike ? No, we definitely need a departure from this

The script writer tried but he should try harder.

Stop lying. He had mobile policemen attached to him all holding Ak47 rifles. They were the ones returning fire and not thugs.

What do you failed And blood loving PDP people gain by telling lies even when the video is right there

hardywaltz:
WikeD boys
They have started killing APC members again in Rivers State.

Have you tried to reason whether it was loyalists of Abe that carried out the attack?
If you are robbed in your home,who will be the first suspect?

Be reminded that the crisis is between Cole and Abe!
They still need to have another primaries after the court nullified the previous one!
Must every thing be about wike?
Most times brain work is needed where there is too much sentiment!

so we don't have plain cloth security men in Nigeria again?

you failed to condemn the aggressors but you are here castigating his security team.

smh

That man in red crawling like snake the floor tho

Any of you who watched this video and cannot analyse the failed drama being played by APC then I think you’re sick in the head. Am not a party man but a freelance visual analyst and I can’t tell you this whole act was scripted. Rivers State I know, Ameachi can do anything to score cheap political point. He can kill his own blood to prove a point. Only God can help us in this Country.
