Who are the governors sponsoring thugs to attack opponents?
Felix Obuah, the PDP campaign council director general in Rivers state, debunked the claim that Governor Wike of Rivers state, sponsored thugs to attack political opponents.
Senator Magnus Abe, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). had earlier alleged that the PDP chairman, Desmond Akawor, is the brain behind the armed thugs that disrupted his political campaign in the Oyigbo local government area of the state.
But Obuah said the PDP does not have opposition in the state because of its well-organised structure, and that the party would not involve in any political thuggery.
