The Presidential rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) holding today at the Umuahia Township Stadium in the state capital has turned violent.
In a video from the Rally ground obtained by our reporter, a female member of the party who is believed to belong to the Orji Uzor Kalu faction of the party was seen being helped to have her injuries attended to after being allegedly attacked by rival factions.
A voice in the background of the video can be heard accusing thugs from the camps of Chief Ikechi Emenike and Hon Nkeiruka Onyejeocha as being behind the attack while claiming that several others were equally injured.
The Presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in the state for the rally.
Recall that APC in Abia State is bitterly divided along several factions, a development that has left Abians confused about who its authentic candidates for elections in the state are as there have been several court pronouncements on the issue. This has further weakened APC’s chances in the state as Abians gear up for the 2023 general elections.
