Offices of the All Progressives Congress and the All Progressives Grand Alliance have come under attack in parts of Ebonyi State.

Our correspondent learnt on Monday that a failed attempt was made to bomb the APC office in Abakaliki on Sunday night, with objects suspected to be improvised explosive devices.

However, the APGA office in the Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state was destroyed, along with houses of some members of the party.

Eye witnesses alleged that those who attacked the APGA office as well as the houses of members of the party wore police uniforms.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the Ebonyi State command, Mr. Chris Anyanwu, confirmed the failed attempt on the APC office and said that the police had launched investigations into the attacks, promising that the culprits would soon be apprehended.

Senior police officers, including the area commander, and the divisional police officer in charge of Kpirikpiri Road police station, were at the scene of the attempted bombing on Monday.

The police bomb disposal unit was also at the party office.

Our correspondent learnt that the APC office, located along Kipirikpiri Road and near the Government House and the headquarters of the police command, also served as the campaign office of Julius Ucha, the governorship candidate of the party in the state.

One of Uchas aides, John Ekeh, said that the unknown assailants threw IEDs into the building at about10: 45 pm on Sunday.

It was a clear intention of those that did it to burn down the office but God was on our side because when they threw the objects from the fence, the wire at the fence may have held the can containing the fuel and the intention was that when the object exploded, the fuel will catch fire and the entire building would have been razed down, Ekeh explained.

ABUJA--Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari has pledged that his government would secure Nigeria against any manner of threats,if voted into office on February 14.

He also stated that the APC government would end all kinds of impunity by public officers in the country.

Buhari made the pledge while commissioning his campaign headquarters which also coincided with the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC in Abuja yesterday.

We will secure Nigeria --Buhari

He said: "We have solemnly promised this nation that we are going to secure it against all threats, manage its resources efficiently and with demonstrable transparency, and then fix whatever is amiss in it. Under an APC government, no one will go to bed hungry, angry with the government or with the fear of insurgents or nocturnal visitors. We shall secure the government for the people and fix it. And, verily, we shall deliver on every of our promises.

"We intend to prosecute this campaign to win and we shall win.

We undertake to end the impunity of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a party that has proved clueless in every material particular. It has failed to address any of the important concerns of the people of this country.

"It has failed to deal squarely with the great security challenge that has faced this nation within these last five years. And it has remained touchy and impervious to all constructive criticism, and without concern for human life and for the suffering going on in the land."

THE All Progressives Congress in Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State came under attack in the early hours of Sunday just as three members of the party were inflicted with machete cut injuries as they prepared for a rally in Rumueme, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

The APC Chairman in Okrika Local Government Area, Mr. Christian Asifamak, who narrated how the ground floor of a three-storey building housing the party secretariat was attacked, explained that some unidentified person had thrown a dynamite in the secretariat, which exploded at about 3.14am.

Asifamaka stated that the incident occurred in Abam Ama community, adding that his office was worse hit as the entire wall was pulled down by the explosion.

In the early hours of the morning of Sunday January 11, 2015, some unknown group of persons threw dynamite into the party secretariat of our party, the All Progressives Congress in Abam Ama, Okrika Local Government Area.

The explosion which occurred at 3:14am exactly, destroyed our secretariat, bringing down the walls. The damage was quite extensive with the chairmans office being the worse hit.

The All Progressives Congress in Okrika views this latest attack as a deliberate provocation by our opponents, the Peoples Democratic Party to draw the APC into a battle that would destabilize our beloved local government area. This is unfortunate and the APC in Okrika would not allow Okrika to become a hotbed of crises as the PDP would wish, he said.

Asifamake pointed out that the PDPs resort to violence was as a result of its knowledge that Okrika people had rejected them because of their inability to attract any meaningful development to the LGA.

Till now the East-West Road through which we access our community has been left abandoned by a PDP-led Federal Government while Governor Chibuike Amaechi who is not an Okrika man built a ring road in Okrika and also rebuilt the portion of the Federal Government road that links the LGA to the Port Harcourt refinery.

We however wish to warn our brothers in the PDP to remember that the land of Okrika has been known to defend itself and its people against aggression and that any Okrika person who brings crisis to the land answers for it, he added.
