A violent clash erupted between supporters of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Secretariat in Port Harcourt on Friday.

The clash led to sporadic shootings around the secretariat, located on Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway.

Eyewitnesses reported that the gunshots were fired by security operatives, who have been guarding the facility since the removal of the Chukwuemeka Aaron -led executives by the court, while another reported that the gunshots were fired by political thugs.

Governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, minister of FCT, Nysome Wike, have been at loggerhead, allegedly over the control of political structures in the state.

The latest incident occurred when Fubara’s supporters, who had earlier been denied access into the office by security personnel following the court verdict which sacked the Chukwuemeka Aaron led executive, attempted to retake the office on Friday morning.

They were however, halted by Wike’s loyalists, who have been laying siege at the secretariat, leading to a serious confrontation.
