The explosion comes amid rumours that Governor Siminalayi Fubara plans to defect to the APP with his supporters, following allegations that his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, has taken control of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

A party official, who wished to remain anonymous, described the attack as politically motivated.

“Yes, I’m a member of the APP. I was informed of the attack at about 3 am today. This is politically motivated, and there’s no doubt about it. They know that the APP is a fast-growing political party in the state. We call on the police to investigate this and arrest the culprits.”

The police command in the state said it is currently unaware of the incident.
