Rivers APC Alleges Supporters Were Attacked on Their Way to Tinubu’s Rally

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of attacking and injuring its members during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the state.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Chibike Ikenga, made the allegation in a statement issued on Thursday, claiming that the incident occurred on November 7, 2026.

According to Ikenga, the APC supporters were attacked around Eleme Junction while travelling to the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium to join other party members and supporters in welcoming the President and his entourage.

He alleged that the attackers were supporters of the ADC and that the incident disrupted the victims’ journey to the presidential rally, leaving several people with varying degrees of injuries.

The statement read, “Our innocent supporters were attacked around Eleme Junction on their way to joining other party/coalition members to receive President Bola Tinubu and his entourage by members of the ADC, thereby disrupting their attendance and causing various degrees of injuries.”

The APC condemned the alleged attack, expressing concern over the safety of its members during political activities.

The party’s statement comes amid heightened political activities and interactions among political groups in Rivers State following President Tinubu’s visit.

However, the allegations remain those of the Rivers APC, and the statement provided no independent confirmation of the incident or response from the ADC.
