Dr. Haliru Muhammed, PDP Acting National Chairman
A week after supporters of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reportedly clashed in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State leaving many people wounded, the State Deputy-Chairman of PDP, Bishop Samuel Akpan, was allegedly shot during the weekend.
Similarly, more than 18 persons, mostly women escaped death when a bus collided with a Jetta vehicle along the Uyo – Itam express way, the gate way to Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital from Calabar axis.
Akpan, who is said to be in charge of total ‘demolition’ of the structure of the opposition parties in the state which has resulted in many members of opposition parties now defecting to PDP, was reportedly ambushed in Etim Ekpo local government area and Uyo, in the course of his programme by people suspected to be agents of ACN.
The State Chairman of the Party, Prince Uwen Ita Etuk, who disclosed this during PDP gubernatorial campaign at Itu local government area of the state Sunday regretted series of attack being launched on his party by supporters of ACN. However, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sani Magaji, Sunday said he was yet to be briefed on the matter.
