Labour Party governorship campaign office in Ogbia, Bayelsa State, was yesterday bombed. Though no one was hurt, the explosion is the fifth in the state in one year.
Senator Rufus Inatimi Spiff, campaign manager of LP guber candidate in the state, Mr Timi Alaibi, has accused the Bayelsa government of carrying out the act to intimidate the opposition.
“This is a shameful act. It is a disgrace to the state government that they had to go after the opposition on a mere flag-off of campaign in a local government area, but they cannot intimidate us,” Spiff told Daily Trust on phone yesterday.
But the Bayelsa State commissioner for Information and communications, Nathan Egba refuted the allegations, saying the LP stage-managed the explosion to embarrass President Jonathan and Governor Sylva.
Daily Trust reports that there has been re-occurring violence in Bayelsa, all of which are believed to be politically motivated, with Governor Timipre Sylva of the PDP and Timi Alaibe of LP trading accusations.
