The Action People’s Party (APP) in the GRA area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, was rocked by a dynamite explosion early Monday morning. The attack occurred around 1 a.m., with assailants reportedly hurling dynamites into the building housing the party's secretariat, resulting in significant damage to windows, doors, and other property.

The explosion has fueled speculation that it might be connected to recent rumors suggesting that State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his supporters plan to defect to APP.

A party official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the incident as politically motivated. "This attack is clearly politically motivated," the official stated. "The APP is rapidly gaining ground in the state, and this seems like an attempt to intimidate us. We urge the police to thoroughly investigate this incident and bring those responsible to justice."

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, indicated that she had not yet been informed about the explosion.
