He said the attack raises tension ahead of the general election and had become a growing trend in Rivers with the attendant uncomplimentary remarks by Governor Nyesom Wike at political rallies.

“What is much more worrisome is the promulgation of pletora of obnoxious executive orders targeted at strangulating the political space and hounding those with opposing views”.

He said that the people of Rivers deserved better than the current insecurity pervading the state orchestrated by state actors and called on the security agencies to investigate the attacks with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book.

“We are calling on international observers to take copious note of these attempts by undemocratic forces which has been tested in Rivers with the bombing of a Television and radio station in Port-Harcourt on Tuesday.

“Security agencies must investigate this incident and ensure that perpetrators are brought to book to nip these growing incidents in the bud.

“Also of concern is the rising tension in Imo state where Governor Hope Uzodimma’s body language seem not to have helped matters. We urge Nigerians to turn out enmass on Saturday to exercise their franchise,” Aniagwu added.
