Drama As Filling Station, Hotel Belonging To Atiku’s Allies Sealed Off In Port Harcourt

Drama As Filling Station, Hotel Belonging To Atiku’s Allies Sealed Off In Port Harcourt

The Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, drama in Rivers State seems to be taking on a new facet.

Drama As Filling Station, Hotel Belonging To Atiku’s Allies Sealed Off In Port Harcourt

The most recent was the closure of a gas station in Port Harcourt that was reportedly owned by Chinyere Igwe, a member of the House of Representatives.

Igwe is a supporter of Austin Opara, a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives and ardent supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate.

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.
