Afegbua of Edo made the claim on Wednesday during an appearance on Arise Television.
He stated that the ADC experienced internal tensions on Monday, which escalated the following day, noting that there had been simmering anger and unrest among party leaders.
It will be recalled that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, reportedly survived an assassination attempt on Tuesday in Edo.
“The ADC members who were prevented from attending the meeting may have orchestrated the attack.
“That event on Monday caused a serious crisis, blocking the road to Government House and necessitating a detour.
“I was in Benin during this incident. The video footage reveals anger and tension among party leaders, with one leader reportedly locking his gate to prevent others from attending a meeting.
“This incident is believed to have led to the subsequent crisis, with those prevented from attending the meeting potentially orchestrating it,” he said.
