Tonye cole knew about those firing the guns.
I am too intelligent to accept this fraud of a video.
Poor men begging a billionaire to bend from been hit by a bullet ...chai
It's more like the bomb blast that hit Buhari convoy in Kaduna
APC is deadly, can do anything to get power but it won't work in Rivers

It is Wike handiwork and he must be dealt with

I don't know how old you are or if you are a PDP apologist

Those guys in suit are dss assigned go him, all governorship aspirants of parties have this UPON request.

In case you want to meet Tonye, let me know we can arrange this whenever he us back briefly in Lagos

Bye

I want to meet him. Oya arrange a meeting

I urge the good people of rivers state to stay safe during this election period especially uniport students.

All this violent acts are even to apc advantage because when both parties clash during the polls,a narrow win will suffice which will favour apc.even in a free and fair poll which is improbable,total votes in rivers won't exceed 500k.atiku has lost in advance.as for tonye,he has a chance to win wike.he needs to reconcile with abe

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

My brother, leave all these nairaland children, they are just too small to comprehend serious issues

TechCapon:
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?

You've never heard of private security in all of your existence?

If you are not cursed you’d not have questioned why Tonye security were wearing black suit. What color of suit do other security personal wear in Nigeria ? I am sure you must be Igbo, very hopeless reasoning. If Wike was the one attacked would you have queried why his security personnel were wearing black suit abi Na white suit Wike security details de wear ?

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.”
