Huge Blow For Amaechi As Wike's Loyalists Burn ADC Ward Office

Suspected political thugs on Friday morning set ablaze a ward office of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ubima, the hometown of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Residents said the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, just hours before Amaechi was expected to formally register with the party at the ward.

Sources alleged that the attackers were loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Both Wike and Amechi are former governors of the state.

According to sources in the community, the assailants stormed the ADC ward office in Ubima and set the building on fire, destroying party materials and other items inside the facility.

“Thugs loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike burnt down ADC ward office in Ubima, the home town of Rotimi Amaechi early Friday morning,” a resident said.

Thugs Reportedly Loyal To Wike Burn ADC Ward Office In Amaechi’s Rivers Hometown Ahead Of His Party Registration

Suspected political thugs on Friday morning set ablaze a ward office of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ubima, the hometown of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Residents said the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, just hours before Amaechi was expected to formally register with the party at the ward.

Sources alleged that the attackers were loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Both Wike and Amechi are former governors of the state.

According to sources in the community, the assailants stormed the ADC ward office in Ubima and set the building on fire, destroying party materials and other items inside the facility.

“Thugs loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike burnt down ADC ward office in Ubima, the home town of Rotimi Amaechi early Friday morning,” a resident said.

“This comes ahead of his party registration today.”

The attack is believed to be linked to heightened political tensions in the area ahead of Amaechi’s planned registration with the African Democratic Congress.

No casualties were reported as of the time of filing this report.

Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, hails from Ubima in Ikwerre Local Government Area and remains a key political figure in the state.

Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer of the Rivers State Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, were unsuccessful.

When contacted by SaharaReporters, Iringe-Koko said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, send me a text message," before abruptly hanging up.

A text message seeking her official reaction was subsequently sent to her line; however, she had yet to respond as of the time of filing this report.

The perpetrators should be arrested and dealt with

Politics of bitterness.

Congratulations 👏🎉 to Wike

Evil Politricks...
Wike is more relevant than the Vice president....

🤣🤣🤣

Nigeria is just a huge joke.

They literally play with everything.

Table will turn one day, hope they will enjoy the show too

Report here in rivers said people against the government supporting labourer party are responsible for these carnage !

Nigeria is totally gone...if we can be doing this to each other.

ADC faction fighting ADC is now blame on another party

These people and their wuruwuru politics.

Wike has proven to be a terrorist and must be cut to size.

No more democracy in Nigeria. Anyways Amaechi was no Saint. He frustrated Jonathan in that state too when he had the power.

Parachoko:
The perpetrators should be arrested and dealt with

Just like the ones in Benin city still roaming freely.

The Adc a bunch of political clowns.

Na dis present crop of thugs in politics masquerading as leaders go finish Nigeria sam sam..

Na small small e dey start until it engulfs everywhere

Make dem dey cook am

Wike is your Donald Trump.

So person like me now somebody will give me 10k and ask me to burn down person property.

APC Wiked Timlubu are on political banditry.

No wonder they can't fight terrorism. Because they behave like terrorists

Cry more, please just weep 😪 a bit more.

What is the incentive for this?

I strongly suspect that Amaechi orchestrated this himself to give himself and his party a momentum in the state. Never trust politicians, especially someone like Amaechi.

Who will give u 10k? 7k Naira & 2 30cl alombo bitters will be enough for u.

And how do we know that the thugs are loyal to Wike

People need to start getting arrested for jumping into conclusion when the Nigerian police have not concluded investigations.

Why tarnish Honorable Nyesome Wike’s reputations?

Did the criminals have ID cards that stated that they were working for the political guru?

Y’all just desperate to tarnish the image of the right hand man of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Parachoko:
The perpetrators should be arrested and dealt with

In Biatra with Love. It takes more than having the same roots for unity and peace to exist

Lol childish politics. Make dem continue

Wike is one of the politicians dragging Nigerian politics back ward along side akpabio

Why is wike, Tinubu and APC Afraid of ADC

This news is false. There are two factions of ADC in Ubima.

Amaechi backing one faction and the other factions sidelined by the party.

All attempt to resolve the issues proved abortive.

The faction on hearing Amaechi was coming to officially register decided to set the office ablaze destroying all materials.

This has nothing to do with wike.

People should get their facts right

Franklyspeakin:
Wike is one of the politicians dragging Nigerian politics back ward along side akpabio

,abi . they want to turn Nigeria into a one party state and control the states, structures and institutions in Nigeria

Tinubu and his group only know how to do politics of wickedness.

APC POLITICIANS have become audacious. They have learnt from Fulani herdsmen terrorist, after all the government will cover them.

Trump please come and save Nigeria from this murderous nightmare
