Explosions Hit Opposition Party Offices In Nigeria by eherbal(m): 8:32am On Feb 22, 2011
Multiple pre-dawn explosions rocked
opposition offices in oil-rich southern
Nigeria, the latest in a wave of attacks
ahead of April elections, police and
the party said Monday.
The explosions went off at the Labour
Party campaign offices in Bayelsa,
President Goodluck Jonathan's home
state.
No casualties were reported in the
attack.
The party is fielding a former
presidential adviser on the volatile
Niger Delta, Timi Alaibe, to challenge
incumbent governor Timipre Sylva.
Alaibe resigned from Jonathan's office
last year to run for governor in
Bayelsa in the April poll.
"There was an explosion at the
Labour Party office in Ogbia in the
night, but I can't give a specific time.
The details are still sketchy and
investigations are under way to try to
identify the perpetrators," police
spokesman Emokpae Eguavoen told
AFP.
Residents said the explosion ocurred
around 4:00 am (0300 GMT) and
destroyed the office which had been
slated for commissioning by Alaibe,
hours later.
The party's campaign chief Thalford
Ongolo condemned "the politics of
violence".
"We will neither be intimidated ,  (nor)
diverted from the goal of liberating
the people of the state," said state
party chairman Aduo Bobo.

the 5th term this year, you can imagine what manner of a country we will have having someone that cannot control his state as a leader of our dear nation. God will surely save and deliver us all.

This is what happened on the day of the last elections in Rivers State.
The political Thugs blew up the mini okoro police station. Released the Ikwerre-Speaking inmates and police men. While the non indegenes where locked up and thrown dynamites. Its all political.

it is now business as usual, no arrest would be made, no investigation would be carried out.

the case would die as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile Jonathan and the SSS are still investigating

the Oct 1st bombing. lousy and clueless president! Transformation Indeed!
