Two persons killed as violence rocks inauguration of Bayelsa APC Chairman
Two persons were Friday killed in Yanegoa as violence marred the inauguration of the Acting Chairman of Bayelsa chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joseph Fafi.
Hoodlums allegedly loyal to the expelled Chairman of the party in the state were said to have invaded the venue firing gunshots to scare the people away.
The National leadership of APC appointed Fafi as the Acting Chairman of the party in the state following the expulsion of the former chairman, Tiwei Orunimighe, his Deputy, Eddy Julius, and Secretary, Marlin Daniel, by the party’s National Executive Council over alleged anti-party activities.
The APC had earlier mandated its national Vice Chairman, South-South, Ntufam Eta to coordinate the affairs of the party in the state.
Eta consequently directed Fafi to take charge of the party as Chairman pending the ratification of his position by the National Working Committee of the party.
He gave the directive in a letter titled “Letter of Authority” dated August 15, asking the Acting Chairman to ensure the full functioning of the APC secretariat for the benefit of all members in the state.
